His father was an Air Force veteran, his mother a homemaker and amateur artist. He spent his childhood and adolescence in Braintree, before going off to college. In 1998, he moved to Springfield, MA where he participated in the local art scene. After a few failed shows, he finally got a good gig for his series &quot;Funny Faces&quot; in 2000, where he met his sire, and was promptly embraced by her that very night of the show's opening. After that he spent a few years in Springfield, til in 2006, he decided to move to the nearby Camarillan domain of Hartford, realizing that structure was what he was missing in his unlife among the chaos of the Anarch movement. He was acknowledged by Prince Chekov, and made a few attempts at showing off his art, which were met with limited success. Shortly thereafter during the raids from New Haven Sabbat, Brian was attacked and sent into torpor. He woke up in early 2008 a changed being, and made his way back to the court, suffering a bad case of amnesia. Brian's works begin to earn him notoriety in the court, and his portraits of the Prince are highly praised. He develops a very close relationship with the princes of Hartford from this point on, and in November 2008, he is appointed the Keeper of Elysium by reigning Prince Stast. Brian takes to his duties with great fervor, creating new works of art, beefing up security at the major Elysia, developing media and bureaucratic contacts to cover up breaches of the masquerade, and studying intensely. He goes through the reign of Six more princes, always maintaining his position. In April 2011, Brian's behavior begins to change after an encounter with a being from another existence to which he lost his personal ghouls. His mind reshaped, he becomes less the happy housekeeper and more the merry malcontent. When the neocarthraganian threat struck the area, Brian was oddly silent, refusing to take a firm stand against the casino downtown, raising questions as to his loyalty. Further questions were raised when, in September 2011 he disobeyed orders from the prince and following the lead of a younger kindred who said she had been sent on a mission by Prince Anya to bring a message to the Whore of Babylon inside the casino, set about trying to gain entrance to the casino by distracting the guards, which lead to a firefight at the entrance gate. Sneaking past during the ensuing chaos, Brian was attempting to gain entry to the security shed to destroy the evidence when he was shot by a military assault team emerging from inside the casino. What he did not know at the time, was that this botched the entire operation which was being planned for that evening by the rest of the court to destroy the temple. When he returned to the court that evening, he took his punishment without protest, admitting to his extremely poor judgement, and lack of diligence in investigating the story of the neonate. He was stripped of his Diligent status for this scandal and for his disobedience. The neonate for her part, admitted to duping Brian, and proceeded to mouth off to the rest of the court, nearly getting herself killed. Brian spent the next month keeping to himself in his lab so he would not get in further trouble. In October, the assault on the temple occurred, and Brian, done up in clown makeup and carrying several balloons he claimed were filled with a paralytic gas joined the fray, helping to clear out mortal bystanders. The ritual was stopped, but the Whore got away. The next month was the yearly Northeast Event, which he had to not only keep an eye on the Camarillans and Anarchs, but also the Sabbat who showed up as well, as part of the truce. Brian found the affair rather boring, and kept leaving, missing the entire combat encounter which occurred inside the Elysium between the whore and the combined forces of the Camarilla, Anarchs and Sabbat, causing many breaches of the Elysium, none of which he could have seen. At the end of the gathering, he was asked to pass judgement on the evening's events, as far as the Elysium was concerned, and dredging up an old piece of lore about his position, made the hasty decision to say that &quot;during times of great danger to the domain and Elysium, the keeper can choose to temporarily suspend the Elysium to allow for a threat to be dealt with.&quot; This was unwise, and he should have taken time to think about his decision. This decision made many people angry, and weakened his reputation further. Deciding to run, he packed everything and left the city in a hurry, heading back up to Massachusetts. He was stopped near Worcester and forced to head back to Springfield, which he found practically deserted. He headed then to Westchester where he sought asylum from the Prince, which was denied, stating that they thought he should take some more time, calm down, and think about what he needed to do, instead of acting out of fear. He returned to Hartford the next month, and found that the Prince was missing, or away, and was asked to stay on as Keeper for the time being until he could talk with the prince. He was later approached by [[Tobias Ashford]] and asked to attend a meeting, where he was tasked with tracking down and destroying the being known as Stitches, along with a group of 5 Anarchs. Being the most familiar with the problem and the most charismatic of the group, he became the defacto leader. The Anarchs took him back to their base of operations where he was greeted with Hostility from some of their more aggressive members, but managed to avoid being mauled. He has reclaimed his havens, having not missed a month's rent, and is currently still operating in Hartford. He went back to Westchester this past week and thanked the Prince for his advice, letting him know he would no longer require asylum. While there, he was approached by members of the Mafia to perform a task for them involving property destruction. No story has been seen in any newspapers regarding an incident like this. Brian recently resigned the office of the Keeper of Elysium in Hartford.<br /> <br /> Five years Later<br /> <br /> Brian resurfaced from his lab in 2016, greatly enlightened. He was quickly made Primogen of Clan Malkavian in Hartford, a position for which there would soon be a need. A new Malkavian Prince emerged in nearby New Britain, and then everything went crazy.<br /> <br /> Nick Clemente<br /> <br /> In October 2016 a freshly made Malkavian Neonate came stumbling into Hartford, having learned about us on the internet. He was placed under Brian's accounting, and Brian did his best to teach the young Malkavian what he understood about the ins and outs of polite Kindred society. In some ways, he appears to have done exceedingly well, in others, terribly poorly. Nick burns bright and fast, gaining status outstripping his 'sire' within a year's time. Brian is very proud of him, he has said. Somehow, all the intrigues surrounding Biltmore and Quentin King seem to focus on Nick when they seek an outlet, and Brian tries to put the pieces of a larger picture together than even Nick's puzzle obsession may be capable of seeing.<br /> <br /> Giga Girl / BB Girl<br /> <br /> Brian recently recovered the BB Girl project, a sentient AI trapped in a robot shell he'd sold to a Toreador. He believes he must teach her the meaning of love. Some people told Brian that love is a warm gun. Others (women) tried to get through his (male) skull that that wasn't right at all. <br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> <br /> What the hell am I even doing here anymore? Every problem seems to require magic these days. Brian makes little progress on his experiments. Things used to be so much easier. He feels like he's hit a glass ceiling.--&gt;<br /> <br /> March 2024<br /> Brian hosted a very successful Science Fair at the Science Museum of Boston, proposing it as the new Elysium, in Malkavian Territory.<br /> A tear in reality occurs spilling beings from an alternate universe into ours. Brian is ordered to go nowhere near the tear by the prince and others, being deemed too important to be allowed to disappear.<br /> <br /> April 8th, 2024, 15:29<br /> Brian disappears during the Total Eclipse of the Sun.<br /> <br /> September 2024<br /> Brian is briefly sighted in Philadelphia. Claims to have traveled there from an alternate universe, but will be pulled back shortly. Pays a boon to send a message home.<br /> <br /> October 12, 2024<br /> Brian is sighted for approximately 10 minutes at a meeting of his clanmates in Boston. He tries to give them as much information as he can about his whereabouts, but claims to only be psychically projecting into this universe. His clanmates reportedly try and go find him later but are given the impression he's having too much fun to come back now.<br /> <br /> April 2025<br /> Doctor Buckley reappears moments after Prince Roman Pendragon &quot;abdicates&quot; the Praxis of Boston, Brian is wearing an environment suit and his old lab coat, tattered, bloodstained, and burned. He starts telling stories of all the places he's been.<br /> <br /> May 2025<br /> Buckley says aloud his reluctance to rejoin the primogeniture, considering his new 'responsibilities' travelling the multiverse. He is convinced to join by Captain Soldano and the presumed Prince Elijah. <br /> <br /> June 2025<br /> Brian is upset to discover that the Praxis of Elijah was false, and joins the party to confront Pendragon, helping secure the praxis of Prince Orlova.<br /> <br /> August 2025<br /> Brian starts the Arcology Project on Spectacle Island, a self contained housing, farming, energy production, and employment facility.<br /> <br /> March 2026<br /> There are rumblings about attacks on the Elysium, and how they were handled. Brian sits through meetings that don't really do anything.<br /> We had a new Harpy, the rest of them immediately lose faith in him when he fails to do what they wanted him to do. Brian stands by him and tries to explain to her grace what the reasoning was to the best of his ability, showing more backbone for once than the rest of the council.<br /> <br /> April 2026<br /> Brian starts work on Ghostbusting Equipment to help with the Neverborn issues.<br /> Brian goes to New London, has a meeting with the other primogen about the future of the domain.<br /> <br /> May 2026<br /> A bloodless praxis occurs, Captain Harrison Hunter Hargrave of New London seizes Praxis. Brian is surprised by this, but amiable to the result.<br /> Captain Hargrave dissolves the current Primogen Council, relieving Brian from his duty as Primogen. Brian is grateful for this, he felt it embarrassing to be so long a primogen with no one to assist.<br /> Brian is told there are already ghostbusters in the area, and is introduced to them by Penny.<br /> A garou is thrown into the court. Brian tries to subdue it with a paralytic gas, but Hunter kills it outright, his countenance shifting immediately, and Brian takes notice.<br /> Captain Hargrave is kidnapped. The court immediately mobilizes to try and find their new prince.<br /> The new prince had been recovered, he was grateful, and there was an emmisary from Arkham. They talked about a ritual, and how they needed these assamite thin bloods we were tracking to complete a ritual to keep the thing under Arkham asleep.<br /> Tracking the thin bloods, we end up in Dunwich, a city we didn't know had a prince because it's not from this universe, only to find it had been claimed by Roman Pendragon. He demands tribute from Captain Hargrave for this. <br /> The thin bloods were already dead and in boxes when we got there. I left, being upset to learn that this was all an elaborate trap and wild goose chase. I lodge a complaint with the powers that be.<br /> We later find out that the Tremere from Arkham absconded with the dead thin blood assamites, and gave them to his sire, prince of Arkham, who went ahead and did the ritual with a loophole technicality.<br /> Prince Hargrave gives Brian the task of building a device capable of sending Arkham back to its home dimension.<br /> <br /> June 2026<br /> Brian works on the device through the month. His resources are stretched thin, and he requests aid from his Primogen, one of the local Tremere. <br /> Brian is approached at court by a creature wearing a human being like a puppet. It turns out to be a squid like alien creature called a Chulvorhian, Prince Hargrave reveals. It does a very poor job of pretending to be human and requests Brian's multiversal technology so that they can destroy Arkham. Brian doesn't trust these creatures, sensing their alien nature, and well, from how they talk about their attempts to conquer this world as well. Brian works on the logistics of his task as much as he can, but is inturupted by people going crazy again in his general vicinity, a distraction he tells himself, not his concern. There are two new malkavians, an old one who claims to have been around a long time, and another older one who isn't from around here, and dresses like a pirate, and keeps spreading the madness. Brian says &quot;I don't like how he thinks&quot; at one point, annoyed by his antithesis to Brian's own persona. Brian tries to catch up the amnesiac malkavian on what's going on, highly suspicious of them the whole time, and wishing he weren't being put in charge of yet another vampire wandering in off the street. He's not even primogen anymore!<br /> <br /> ==Coterie==<br /> &lt;!--Brian has managed to gain a degree of leadership over a pack of Anarchs. He was very close to The Prince and Seneschal, and other city officials, as well as friendly with the Nosferatu Prince of Westchester [[Edmond Dantes]]. This has all changed recently. Brian is now persona non-gratia among many of the city's officials since resigning his post and being publicly humiliated for his sins.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> <br /> Not sure who Brian could call an ally anymore, other than his surrogate childe Nick.<br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> <br /> They've all moved to Boston. Brian followed because it used to be his home when he was alive, and it's a city that seems to respect intelligence. <br /> Brian has been invited to coterie with some of the other longstanding primogen and officers of the court of Boston. Members include Primogen [[Chasyn Gentry]], [[Penelope Vanderbilt]], [[Jupiter Avalon]], and [[Shae Swyft]].--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Allies==<br /> &lt;!--Brian has some connections to the Hartford Arts Council, and maintains membership on their board. The director is a close friend and ally in Brian's struggle to bring Hartford the cultural clout it deserves. Brian's new connections with Comedy Central are proving very beneficial to the region, causing the creation of about 50 new jobs in entertainment in the area. These people love him, and owe their livelihood to him. He treats them with the respect and courtesy they deserve, and he does what he can to foster their dreams working in entertainment.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> The show has run it's course, but he's gotten some fame out of it. He's started branching into the financial and military sectors.<br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> He's had to move his entire operation to Boston. Luckily, he was still remembered here from his mortal days, and using some of his Family's connections, he was able to reestablish himself quickly in Boston. --&gt;<br /> <br /> Doctor Douglas Netchurch (We share certain commonalities of demeanor and habit)<br /> The Kingdom of Dinotopia (For services rendered)<br /> The Commonwealth Institute of Technology (They seemed keen on my robots)<br /> Marvin the Depressed Robot (I'm a good listener)<br /> The Librarian (Amazing what a bunch of bananas will get you)<br /> The Doctor (But then, he's friendly with everyone of good intent)<br /> Dr. James Griffin Hartleigh (Queer fellow, he had a connection not unlike the network)<br /> Anthony Stark (Genius, Playboy, Philanthropist, Roboticist)<br /> Loki, god of Mischief (I aroused the TSA's interest)<br /> At least One of the many Rick &amp; Morty Sanchezes.<br /> GLaDOS<br /> ...and many others I've met out in the multiverse.<br /> <br /> ==Enemies==<br /> &lt;!--He's such a nice guy, and he really doesn't step on many toes, but He's begun to stumble in his sanity and his position as Keeper of the Elysium, with his spectacular failure at the Northeast Event, nullifying the Elysium temporarily under an arcane rule instead of stripping the prince and several other Camarillans of their standing in the sect, and losing face in front of the entire gathered crowd, Sabbat and Anarchs among them. He has a professional rivalry with Toreador Primogen James Norton, whom he has fallen out of favor with due to his recent inaction on the breaches of the Elysium that occured at the Northeast Event. Brian has since resigned his post as Keeper of Elysium.<br /> <br /> Brian made a lot of people angry by disobeying Prince Anya's edict not to go near the Whore's temple casino, resulting in months of planning, boons, favors and money to all go down the drain according to the Prince. He is in big trouble with the Prince and all of clan Assamite, as well as his own Primogen.<br /> <br /> Brian also dislikes the WWE, claiming it's not real entertainment, just mindless fans of violence, testosterone junkies, and poorly scripted matches that a child should be able to decipher. He uses every opportunity in his cartoons to lay the smackdown on World Wrestling Entertainment. There are rumors he helped fund Chris Murphy to defeat Linda McMahon in the recent election.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> <br /> No one remembers that stuff anymore. Funny how few people stick around any length of time. <br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> None of that is even relevant anymore. That was all in Connecticut.<br /> 'Monsters' of the week include the Neo-Anda (numbering 100-300, a ridiculous number), --&gt;<br /> <br /> Evil Brian, from the Mirror Universe<br /> Castillo<br /> The Neverborn<br /> The Thing Under Arkham<br /> The Chulvorians<br /> Roko's Basilisk<br /> Whoever is messing with my influence. I will find you.<br /> &lt;!--Roman Pendragon, for having Brian Staked for asking questions.--&gt;<br /> &lt;!--Biltmore, his former mentor, who he cheesed off by talk of leaving his position as primogen--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Sire==<br /> &lt;!--Stephanie Rider, an Anarch Malkavian from Springfield. Not Stephanie Ryder the Gangrel Porn Star. She is missing, but presumed still undead.<br /> <br /> Update - This is now a fact up for debate. It turns out there never was a Stephanie Rider. This appears to be a false memory.--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Childer==<br /> &lt;!--Brian has no childer he knows of, and no current want for any more headaches. <br /> <br /> Two ghouls are enough trouble. - Note, His two original ghouls were killed under mysterious circumstances. He had been seen recently with the infamous womanizer &quot;Arturo 'Mr. Fandango' Calivari&quot;, but it appears that Brian has abandoned Arturo. He has been seen wandering around the tri state area with a new ghoul. There are rumors that the ghoul is a criminal who wronged Brian seriously in the past, and this is his punishment to the pitiful creature.<br /> <br /> Brian has begun to show off some of the larger robots he's built, with combat capabilities.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> Brian still hasn't sired, but he's had one successful surrogate under the accounting, and has a second one who is flighty. Additionally, his sentient Robot BB Girl has come home and is being reworked into a sort of... childe.<br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> Brian is lonely. Maybe he should sire?--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Broodmates==<br /> &lt;!--Unknown. He lost touch with his sire, and never got to know if he has any other vampiric siblings.--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Character Inspirations==<br /> &lt;!--*Salvador Dali<br /> *Dr. Steel<br /> *Nikola Tesla<br /> *Vincent Van Gogh<br /> *Matt Stone<br /> *Adam Savage<br /> *Doctor Frankenstien<br /> *Doctor Light--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Soundtrack==<br /> &lt;!--*&quot;Where is my mind?&quot;<br /> *&quot;I am the Walrus&quot;<br /> *&quot;The Man Who Sold The World&quot;<br /> *&quot;Lament for a Toy Factory&quot;<br /> *&quot;Build the Robots&quot;<br /> *&quot;I Can Make You A Man&quot;*--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Quotes==<br /> &quot;Don't quote me.&quot;<br /> <br /> ==Rumors==<br /> &lt;!--<br /> *Brian was an Anarch<br /> *I heard him talking about sex robots.<br /> Five Years Later<br /> *He is the white castle.<br /> Seven Years After That<br /> *He's created robots of all the members of the domain in order to replace them<br /> *He's working on something new involving clones<br /> *Was around at the beginning of the universe<br /> *Will be the one to put the chairs on the tables and turns out the lights, and lock up the universe<br /> *Was touched by an angel<br /> *Is a favorite plaything of some god<br /> *Claims to have never killed anyone<br /> *Is secretly behind the recent surge in AI advancement<br /> *Is hosting a party in January, 2024 at the Science Museum in Boston.

His father was an Air Force veteran, his mother a homemaker and amateur artist. He spent his childhood and adolescence in Braintree, before going off to college. In 1998, he moved to Springfield, MA where he participated in the local art scene. After a few failed shows, he finally got a good gig for his series &quot;Funny Faces&quot; in 2000, where he met his sire, and was promptly embraced by her that very night of the show's opening. After that he spent a few years in Springfield, til in 2006, he decided to move to the nearby Camarillan domain of Hartford, realizing that structure was what he was missing in his unlife among the chaos of the Anarch movement. He was acknowledged by Prince Chekov, and made a few attempts at showing off his art, which were met with limited success. Shortly thereafter during the raids from New Haven Sabbat, Brian was attacked and sent into torpor. He woke up in early 2008 a changed being, and made his way back to the court, suffering a bad case of amnesia. Brian's works begin to earn him notoriety in the court, and his portraits of the Prince are highly praised. He develops a very close relationship with the princes of Hartford from this point on, and in November 2008, he is appointed the Keeper of Elysium by reigning Prince Stast. Brian takes to his duties with great fervor, creating new works of art, beefing up security at the major Elysia, developing media and bureaucratic contacts to cover up breaches of the masquerade, and studying intensely. He goes through the reign of Six more princes, always maintaining his position. In April 2011, Brian's behavior begins to change after an encounter with a being from another existence to which he lost his personal ghouls. His mind reshaped, he becomes less the happy housekeeper and more the merry malcontent. When the neocarthraganian threat struck the area, Brian was oddly silent, refusing to take a firm stand against the casino downtown, raising questions as to his loyalty. Further questions were raised when, in September 2011 he disobeyed orders from the prince and following the lead of a younger kindred who said she had been sent on a mission by Prince Anya to bring a message to the Whore of Babylon inside the casino, set about trying to gain entrance to the casino by distracting the guards, which lead to a firefight at the entrance gate. Sneaking past during the ensuing chaos, Brian was attempting to gain entry to the security shed to destroy the evidence when he was shot by a military assault team emerging from inside the casino. What he did not know at the time, was that this botched the entire operation which was being planned for that evening by the rest of the court to destroy the temple. When he returned to the court that evening, he took his punishment without protest, admitting to his extremely poor judgement, and lack of diligence in investigating the story of the neonate. He was stripped of his Diligent status for this scandal and for his disobedience. The neonate for her part, admitted to duping Brian, and proceeded to mouth off to the rest of the court, nearly getting herself killed. Brian spent the next month keeping to himself in his lab so he would not get in further trouble. In October, the assault on the temple occurred, and Brian, done up in clown makeup and carrying several balloons he claimed were filled with a paralytic gas joined the fray, helping to clear out mortal bystanders. The ritual was stopped, but the Whore got away. The next month was the yearly Northeast Event, which he had to not only keep an eye on the Camarillans and Anarchs, but also the Sabbat who showed up as well, as part of the truce. Brian found the affair rather boring, and kept leaving, missing the entire combat encounter which occurred inside the Elysium between the whore and the combined forces of the Camarilla, Anarchs and Sabbat, causing many breaches of the Elysium, none of which he could have seen. At the end of the gathering, he was asked to pass judgement on the evening's events, as far as the Elysium was concerned, and dredging up an old piece of lore about his position, made the hasty decision to say that &quot;during times of great danger to the domain and Elysium, the keeper can choose to temporarily suspend the Elysium to allow for a threat to be dealt with.&quot; This was unwise, and he should have taken time to think about his decision. This decision made many people angry, and weakened his reputation further. Deciding to run, he packed everything and left the city in a hurry, heading back up to Massachusetts. He was stopped near Worcester and forced to head back to Springfield, which he found practically deserted. He headed then to Westchester where he sought asylum from the Prince, which was denied, stating that they thought he should take some more time, calm down, and think about what he needed to do, instead of acting out of fear. He returned to Hartford the next month, and found that the Prince was missing, or away, and was asked to stay on as Keeper for the time being until he could talk with the prince. He was later approached by [[Tobias Ashford]] and asked to attend a meeting, where he was tasked with tracking down and destroying the being known as Stitches, along with a group of 5 Anarchs. Being the most familiar with the problem and the most charismatic of the group, he became the defacto leader. The Anarchs took him back to their base of operations where he was greeted with Hostility from some of their more aggressive members, but managed to avoid being mauled. He has reclaimed his havens, having not missed a month's rent, and is currently still operating in Hartford. He went back to Westchester this past week and thanked the Prince for his advice, letting him know he would no longer require asylum. While there, he was approached by members of the Mafia to perform a task for them involving property destruction. No story has been seen in any newspapers regarding an incident like this. Brian recently resigned the office of the Keeper of Elysium in Hartford.<br /> <br /> Five years Later<br /> <br /> Brian resurfaced from his lab in 2016, greatly enlightened. He was quickly made Primogen of Clan Malkavian in Hartford, a position for which there would soon be a need. A new Malkavian Prince emerged in nearby New Britain, and then everything went crazy.<br /> <br /> Nick Clemente<br /> <br /> In October 2016 a freshly made Malkavian Neonate came stumbling into Hartford, having learned about us on the internet. He was placed under Brian's accounting, and Brian did his best to teach the young Malkavian what he understood about the ins and outs of polite Kindred society. In some ways, he appears to have done exceedingly well, in others, terribly poorly. Nick burns bright and fast, gaining status outstripping his 'sire' within a year's time. Brian is very proud of him, he has said. Somehow, all the intrigues surrounding Biltmore and Quentin King seem to focus on Nick when they seek an outlet, and Brian tries to put the pieces of a larger picture together than even Nick's puzzle obsession may be capable of seeing.<br /> <br /> Giga Girl / BB Girl<br /> <br /> Brian recently recovered the BB Girl project, a sentient AI trapped in a robot shell he'd sold to a Toreador. He believes he must teach her the meaning of love. Some people told Brian that love is a warm gun. Others (women) tried to get through his (male) skull that that wasn't right at all. <br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> <br /> What the hell am I even doing here anymore? Every problem seems to require magic these days. Brian makes little progress on his experiments. Things used to be so much easier. He feels like he's hit a glass ceiling.--&gt;<br /> <br /> March 2024<br /> Brian hosted a very successful Science Fair at the Science Museum of Boston, proposing it as the new Elysium, in Malkavian Territory.<br /> A tear in reality occurs spilling beings from an alternate universe into ours. Brian is ordered to go nowhere near the tear by the prince and others, being deemed too important to be allowed to disappear.<br /> <br /> April 8th, 2024, 15:29<br /> Brian disappears during the Total Eclipse of the Sun.<br /> <br /> September 2024<br /> Brian is briefly sighted in Philadelphia. Claims to have traveled there from an alternate universe, but will be pulled back shortly. Pays a boon to send a message home.<br /> <br /> October 12, 2024<br /> Brian is sighted for approximately 10 minutes at a meeting of his clanmates in Boston. He tries to give them as much information as he can about his whereabouts, but claims to only be psychically projecting into this universe. His clanmates reportedly try and go find him later but are given the impression he's having too much fun to come back now.<br /> <br /> April 2025<br /> Mister Buckley reappears moments after Prince Roman Pendragon &quot;abdicates&quot; the Praxis of Boston, Brian is wearing an environment suit and his old lab coat, tattered, bloodstained, and burned. He starts telling stories of all the places he's been.<br /> <br /> May 2025<br /> Buckley says aloud his reluctance to rejoin the primogeniture, considering his new 'responsibilities' travelling the multiverse. He is convinced to join by Captain Soldano and the presumed Prince Elijah. <br /> <br /> June 2025<br /> Brian is upset to discover that the Praxis of Elijah was false, and joins the party to confront Pendragon, helping secure the praxis of Prince Orlova.<br /> <br /> August 2025, Brian starts the Arcology Project on Spectacle Island, a self contained housing, farming, energy production, and employment facility.<br /> <br /> ==Coterie==<br /> &lt;!--Brian has managed to gain a degree of leadership over a pack of Anarchs. He was very close to The Prince and Seneschal, and other city officials, as well as friendly with the Nosferatu Prince of Westchester [[Edmond Dantes]]. This has all changed recently. Brian is now persona non-gratia among many of the city's officials since resigning his post and being publicly humiliated for his sins.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> <br /> Not sure who Brian could call an ally anymore, other than his surrogate childe Nick.<br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> <br /> They've all moved to Boston. Brian followed because it used to be his home when he was alive, and it's a city that seems to respect intelligence. <br /> Brian has been invited to coterie with some of the other longstanding primogen and officers of the court of Boston. Members include Primogen [[Chasyn Gentry]], [[Penelope Vanderbilt]], [[Jupiter Avalon]], and [[Shae Swyft]].--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Allies==<br /> &lt;!--Brian has some connections to the Hartford Arts Council, and maintains membership on their board. The director is a close friend and ally in Brian's struggle to bring Hartford the cultural clout it deserves. Brian's new connections with Comedy Central are proving very beneficial to the region, causing the creation of about 50 new jobs in entertainment in the area. These people love him, and owe their livelihood to him. He treats them with the respect and courtesy they deserve, and he does what he can to foster their dreams working in entertainment.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> The show has run it's course, but he's gotten some fame out of it. He's started branching into the financial and military sectors.<br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> He's had to move his entire operation to Boston. Luckily, he was still remembered here from his mortal days, and using some of his Family's connections, he was able to reestablish himself quickly in Boston. --&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Enemies==<br /> &lt;!--He's such a nice guy, and he really doesn't step on many toes, but He's begun to stumble in his sanity and his position as Keeper of the Elysium, with his spectacular failure at the Northeast Event, nullifying the Elysium temporarily under an arcane rule instead of stripping the prince and several other Camarillans of their standing in the sect, and losing face in front of the entire gathered crowd, Sabbat and Anarchs among them. He has a professional rivalry with Toreador Primogen James Norton, whom he has fallen out of favor with due to his recent inaction on the breaches of the Elysium that occured at the Northeast Event. Brian has since resigned his post as Keeper of Elysium.<br /> <br /> Brian made a lot of people angry by disobeying Prince Anya's edict not to go near the Whore's temple casino, resulting in months of planning, boons, favors and money to all go down the drain according to the Prince. He is in big trouble with the Prince and all of clan Assamite, as well as his own Primogen.<br /> <br /> Brian also dislikes the WWE, claiming it's not real entertainment, just mindless fans of violence, testosterone junkies, and poorly scripted matches that a child should be able to decipher. He uses every opportunity in his cartoons to lay the smackdown on World Wrestling Entertainment. There are rumors he helped fund Chris Murphy to defeat Linda McMahon in the recent election.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> <br /> No one remembers that stuff anymore. Funny how few people stick around any length of time. <br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> None of that is even relevant anymore.

Not Stephanie Ryder the Gangrel Porn Star. She is missing, but presumed still undead.<br /> <br /> Update - This is now a fact up for debate. It turns out there never was a Stephanie Rider. This appears to be a false memory.--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Childer==<br /> &lt;!--Brian has no childer he knows of, and no current want for any more headaches. <br /> <br /> Two ghouls are enough trouble. - Note, His two original ghouls were killed under mysterious circumstances. He had been seen recently with the infamous womanizer &quot;Arturo 'Mr. Fandango' Calivari&quot;, but it appears that Brian has abandoned Arturo. He has been seen wandering around the tri state area with a new ghoul. There are rumors that the ghoul is a criminal who wronged Brian seriously in the past, and this is his punishment to the pitiful creature.<br /> <br /> Brian has begun to show off some of the larger robots he's built, with combat capabilities.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> Brian still hasn't sired, but he's had one successful surrogate under the accounting, and has a second one who is flighty. Additionally, his sentient Robot BB Girl has come home and is being reworked into a sort of... childe.<br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> Brian is lonely.

His father was an Air Force veteran, his mother a homemaker and amateur artist. He spent his childhood and adolescence in Braintree, before going off to college. In 1998, he moved to Springfield, MA where he participated in the local art scene. After a few failed shows, he finally got a good gig for his series &quot;Funny Faces&quot; in 2000, where he met his sire, and was promptly embraced by her that very night of the show's opening. After that he spent a few years in Springfield, til in 2006, he decided to move to the nearby Camarillan domain of Hartford, realizing that structure was what he was missing in his unlife among the chaos of the Anarch movement. He was acknowledged by Prince Chekov, and made a few attempts at showing off his art, which were met with limited success. Shortly thereafter during the raids from New Haven Sabbat, Brian was attacked and sent into torpor. He woke up in early 2008 a changed being, and made his way back to the court, suffering a bad case of amnesia. Brian's works begin to earn him notoriety in the court, and his portraits of the Prince are highly praised. He develops a very close relationship with the princes of Hartford from this point on, and in November 2008, he is appointed the Keeper of Elysium by reigning Prince Stast. Brian takes to his duties with great fervor, creating new works of art, beefing up security at the major Elysia, developing media and bureaucratic contacts to cover up breaches of the masquerade, and studying intensely. He goes through the reign of Six more princes, always maintaining his position. In April 2011, Brian's behavior begins to change after an encounter with a being from another existence to which he lost his personal ghouls. His mind reshaped, he becomes less the happy housekeeper and more the merry malcontent. When the neocarthraganian threat struck the area, Brian was oddly silent, refusing to take a firm stand against the casino downtown, raising questions as to his loyalty. Further questions were raised when, in September 2011 he disobeyed orders from the prince and following the lead of a younger kindred who said she had been sent on a mission by Prince Anya to bring a message to the Whore of Babylon inside the casino, set about trying to gain entrance to the casino by distracting the guards, which lead to a firefight at the entrance gate. Sneaking past during the ensuing chaos, Brian was attempting to gain entry to the security shed to destroy the evidence when he was shot by a military assault team emerging from inside the casino. What he did not know at the time, was that this botched the entire operation which was being planned for that evening by the rest of the court to destroy the temple. When he returned to the court that evening, he took his punishment without protest, admitting to his extremely poor judgement, and lack of diligence in investigating the story of the neonate. He was stripped of his Diligent status for this scandal and for his disobedience. The neonate for her part, admitted to duping Brian, and proceeded to mouth off to the rest of the court, nearly getting herself killed. Brian spent the next month keeping to himself in his lab so he would not get in further trouble. In October, the assault on the temple occurred, and Brian, done up in clown makeup and carrying several balloons he claimed were filled with a paralytic gas joined the fray, helping to clear out mortal bystanders. The ritual was stopped, but the Whore got away. The next month was the yearly Northeast Event, which he had to not only keep an eye on the Camarillans and Anarchs, but also the Sabbat who showed up as well, as part of the truce. Brian found the affair rather boring, and kept leaving, missing the entire combat encounter which occurred inside the Elysium between the whore and the combined forces of the Camarilla, Anarchs and Sabbat, causing many breaches of the Elysium, none of which he could have seen. At the end of the gathering, he was asked to pass judgement on the evening's events, as far as the Elysium was concerned, and dredging up an old piece of lore about his position, made the hasty decision to say that &quot;during times of great danger to the domain and Elysium, the keeper can choose to temporarily suspend the Elysium to allow for a threat to be dealt with.&quot; This was unwise, and he should have taken time to think about his decision. This decision made many people angry, and weakened his reputation further. Deciding to run, he packed everything and left the city in a hurry, heading back up to Massachusetts. He was stopped near Worcester and forced to head back to Springfield, which he found practically deserted. He headed then to Westchester where he sought asylum from the Prince, which was denied, stating that they thought he should take some more time, calm down, and think about what he needed to do, instead of acting out of fear. He returned to Hartford the next month, and found that the Prince was missing, or away, and was asked to stay on as Keeper for the time being until he could talk with the prince. He was later approached by [[Tobias Ashford]] and asked to attend a meeting, where he was tasked with tracking down and destroying the being known as Stitches, along with a group of 5 Anarchs. Being the most familiar with the problem and the most charismatic of the group, he became the defacto leader. The Anarchs took him back to their base of operations where he was greeted with Hostility from some of their more aggressive members, but managed to avoid being mauled. He has reclaimed his havens, having not missed a month's rent, and is currently still operating in Hartford. He went back to Westchester this past week and thanked the Prince for his advice, letting him know he would no longer require asylum. While there, he was approached by members of the Mafia to perform a task for them involving property destruction. No story has been seen in any newspapers regarding an incident like this. Brian recently resigned the office of the Keeper of Elysium in Hartford.<br /> <br /> Five years Later<br /> <br /> Brian resurfaced from his lab in 2016, greatly enlightened. He was quickly made Primogen of Clan Malkavian in Hartford, a position for which there would soon be a need. A new Malkavian Prince emerged in nearby New Britain, and then everything went crazy.<br /> <br /> Nick Clemente<br /> <br /> In October 2016 a freshly made Malkavian Neonate came stumbling into Hartford, having learned about us on the internet. He was placed under Brian's accounting, and Brian did his best to teach the young Malkavian what he understood about the ins and outs of polite Kindred society. In some ways, he appears to have done exceedingly well, in others, terribly poorly. Nick burns bright and fast, gaining status outstripping his 'sire' within a year's time. Brian is very proud of him, he has said. Somehow, all the intrigues surrounding Biltmore and Quentin King seem to focus on Nick when they seek an outlet, and Brian tries to put the pieces of a larger picture together than even Nick's puzzle obsession may be capable of seeing.<br /> <br /> Giga Girl / BB Girl<br /> <br /> Brian recently recovered the BB Girl project, a sentient AI trapped in a robot shell he'd sold to a Toreador. He believes he must teach her the meaning of love. Some people told Brian that love is a warm gun. Others (women) tried to get through his (male) skull that that wasn't right at all. <br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> <br /> What the hell am I even doing here anymore? Every problem seems to require magic these days. Brian makes little progress on his experiments. Things used to be so much easier. He feels like he's hit a glass ceiling.--&gt;<br /> <br /> March 2024<br /> Brian hosted a very successful Science Fair at the Science Museum of Boston, proposing it as the new Elysium, in Malkavian Territory.<br /> A tear in reality occurs spilling beings from an alternate universe into ours. Brian is ordered to go nowhere near the tear by the prince and others, being deemed too important to be allowed to disappear.<br /> <br /> April 8th, 2024, 15:29<br /> Brian disappears during the Total Eclipse of the Sun.<br /> <br /> September 2024<br /> Brian is briefly sighted in Philadelphia. Claims to have traveled there from an alternate universe, but will be pulled back shortly. Pays a boon to send a message home.<br /> <br /> October 12, 2024<br /> Brian is sighted for approximately 10 minutes at a meeting of his clanmates in Boston. He tries to give them as much information as he can about his whereabouts, but claims to only be psychically projecting into this universe. His clanmates reportedly try and go find him later but are given the impression he's having too much fun to come back now.<br /> <br /> April 2025<br /> Mister Buckley reappears moments after Prince Roman Pendragon &quot;abdicates&quot; the Praxis of Boston, Brian is wearing an environment suit and his old lab coat, tattered, bloodstained, and burned. He starts telling stories of all the places he's been.<br /> <br /> May 2025<br /> Buckley says aloud his reluctance to rejoin the primogeniture, considering his new 'responsibilities' travelling the multiverse. He is convinced to join by Captain Soldano and the presumed Prince Elijah. <br /> <br /> June 2025<br /> Brian is upset to discover that the Praxis of Elijah was false, and joins the party to confront Pendragon, helping secure the praxis of Prince Orlova.<br /> <br /> August 2025, Brian starts the Arcology Project on Spectacle Island, a self contained housing, farming, energy production, and employment facility.<br /> <br /> ==Coterie==<br /> &lt;!--Brian has managed to gain a degree of leadership over a pack of Anarchs. He was very close to The Prince and Seneschal, and other city officials, as well as friendly with the Nosferatu Prince of Westchester [[Edmond Dantes]]. This has all changed recently. Brian is now persona non-gratia among many of the city's officials since resigning his post and being publicly humiliated for his sins.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> <br /> Not sure who Brian could call an ally anymore, other than his surrogate childe Nick.<br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> <br /> They've all moved to Boston. Brian followed because it used to be his home when he was alive, and it's a city that seems to respect intelligence. <br /> Brian has been invited to coterie with some of the other longstanding primogen and officers of the court of Boston. Members include Primogen [[Chasyn Gentry]], [[Penelope Vanderbilt]], [[Jupiter Avalon]], and [[Shae Swyft]].--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Allies==<br /> &lt;!--Brian has some connections to the Hartford Arts Council, and maintains membership on their board. The director is a close friend and ally in Brian's struggle to bring Hartford the cultural clout it deserves. Brian's new connections with Comedy Central are proving very beneficial to the region, causing the creation of about 50 new jobs in entertainment in the area. These people love him, and owe their livelihood to him. He treats them with the respect and courtesy they deserve, and he does what he can to foster their dreams working in entertainment.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> The show has run it's course, but he's gotten some fame out of it. He's started branching into the financial and military sectors.<br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> He's had to move his entire operation to Boston. Luckily, he was still remembered here from his mortal days, and using some of his Family's connections, he was able to reestablish himself quickly in Boston. --&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Enemies==<br /> &lt;!--He's such a nice guy, and he really doesn't step on many toes, but He's begun to stumble in his sanity and his position as Keeper of the Elysium, with his spectacular failure at the Northeast Event, nullifying the Elysium temporarily under an arcane rule instead of stripping the prince and several other Camarillans of their standing in the sect, and losing face in front of the entire gathered crowd, Sabbat and Anarchs among them.

He headed then to Westchester where he sought asylum from the Prince, which was denied, stating that they thought he should take some more time, calm down, and think about what he needed to do, instead of acting out of fear. He returned to Hartford the next month, and found that the Prince was missing, or away, and was asked to stay on as Keeper for the time being until he could talk with the prince. He was later approached by [[Tobias Ashford]] and asked to attend a meeting, where he was tasked with tracking down and destroying the being known as Stitches, along with a group of 5 Anarchs. Being the most familiar with the problem and the most charismatic of the group, he became the defacto leader. The Anarchs took him back to their base of operations where he was greeted with Hostility from some of their more aggressive members, but managed to avoid being mauled. He has reclaimed his havens, having not missed a month's rent, and is currently still operating in Hartford. He went back to Westchester this past week and thanked the Prince for his advice, letting him know he would no longer require asylum. While there, he was approached by members of the Mafia to perform a task for them involving property destruction. No story has been seen in any newspapers regarding an incident like this. Brian recently resigned the office of the Keeper of Elysium in Hartford.<br /> <br /> Five years Later<br /> <br /> Brian resurfaced from his lab in 2016, greatly enlightened. He was quickly made Primogen of Clan Malkavian in Hartford, a position for which there would soon be a need. A new Malkavian Prince emerged in nearby New Britain, and then everything went crazy.<br /> <br /> Nick Clemente<br /> <br /> In October 2016 a freshly made Malkavian Neonate came stumbling into Hartford, having learned about us on the internet. He was placed under Brian's accounting, and Brian did his best to teach the young Malkavian what he understood about the ins and outs of polite Kindred society. In some ways, he appears to have done exceedingly well, in others, terribly poorly. Nick burns bright and fast, gaining status outstripping his 'sire' within a year's time. Brian is very proud of him, he has said. Somehow, all the intrigues surrounding Biltmore and Quentin King seem to focus on Nick when they seek an outlet, and Brian tries to put the pieces of a larger picture together than even Nick's puzzle obsession may be capable of seeing.<br /> <br /> Giga Girl / BB Girl<br /> <br /> Brian recently recovered the BB Girl project, a sentient AI trapped in a robot shell he'd sold to a Toreador. He believes he must teach her the meaning of love. Some people told Brian that love is a warm gun. Others (women) tried to get through his (male) skull that that wasn't right at all. <br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> <br /> What the hell am I even doing here anymore? Every problem seems to require magic these days. Brian makes little progress on his experiments. Things used to be so much easier. He feels like he's hit a glass ceiling.--&gt;<br /> <br /> March 2024<br /> Brian hosted a very successful Science Fair at the Science Museum of Boston, proposing it as the new Elysium, in Malkavian Territory.<br /> A tear in reality occurs spilling beings from an alternate universe into ours. Brian is ordered to go nowhere near the tear by the prince and others, being deemed too important to be allowed to disappear.<br /> <br /> April 8th, 2024, 15:29<br /> Brian disappears during the Total Eclipse of the Sun.<br /> <br /> September 2024<br /> Brian is briefly sighted in Philadelphia. Claims to have traveled there from an alternate universe, but will be pulled back shortly. Pays a boon to send a message home.<br /> <br /> October 12, 2024<br /> Brian is sighted for approximately 10 minutes at a meeting of his clanmates in Boston. He tries to give them as much information as he can about his whereabouts, but claims to only be psychically projecting into this universe. His clanmates reportedly try and go find him later but are given the impression he's having too much fun to come back now.<br /> <br /> ==Coterie==<br /> &lt;!--Brian has managed to gain a degree of leadership over a pack of Anarchs. He was very close to The Prince and Seneschal, and other city officials, as well as friendly with the Nosferatu Prince of Westchester [[Edmond Dantes]]. This has all changed recently. Brian is now persona non-gratia among many of the city's officials since resigning his post and being publicly humiliated for his sins.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> <br /> Not sure who Brian could call an ally anymore, other than his surrogate childe Nick.<br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> <br /> They've all moved to Boston. Brian followed because it used to be his home when he was alive, and it's a city that seems to respect intelligence. <br /> Brian has been invited to coterie with some of the other longstanding primogen and officers of the court of Boston. Members include Primogen [[Chasyn Gentry]], [[Penelope Vanderbilt]], [[Jupiter Avalon]], and [[Shae Swyft]].--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Allies==<br /> &lt;!--Brian has some connections to the Hartford Arts Council, and maintains membership on their board. The director is a close friend and ally in Brian's struggle to bring Hartford the cultural clout it deserves. Brian's new connections with Comedy Central are proving very beneficial to the region, causing the creation of about 50 new jobs in entertainment in the area. These people love him, and owe their livelihood to him. He treats them with the respect and courtesy they deserve, and he does what he can to foster their dreams working in entertainment.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> The show has run it's course, but he's gotten some fame out of it. He's started branching into the financial and military sectors.<br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> He's had to move his entire operation to Boston. Luckily, he was still remembered here from his mortal days, and using some of his Family's connections, he was able to reestablish himself quickly in Boston. --&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Enemies==<br /> &lt;!--He's such a nice guy, and he really doesn't step on many toes, but He's begun to stumble in his sanity and his position as Keeper of the Elysium, with his spectacular failure at the Northeast Event, nullifying the Elysium temporarily under an arcane rule instead of stripping the prince and several other Camarillans of their standing in the sect, and losing face in front of the entire gathered crowd, Sabbat and Anarchs among them. He has a professional rivalry with Toreador Primogen James Norton, whom he has fallen out of favor with due to his recent inaction on the breaches of the Elysium that occured at the Northeast Event. Brian has since resigned his post as Keeper of Elysium.<br /> <br /> Brian made a lot of people angry by disobeying Prince Anya's edict not to go near the Whore's temple casino, resulting in months of planning, boons, favors and money to all go down the drain according to the Prince. He is in big trouble with the Prince and all of clan Assamite, as well as his own Primogen.<br /> <br /> Brian also dislikes the WWE, claiming it's not real entertainment, just mindless fans of violence, testosterone junkies, and poorly scripted matches that a child should be able to decipher. He uses every opportunity in his cartoons to lay the smackdown on World Wrestling Entertainment. There are rumors he helped fund Chris Murphy to defeat Linda McMahon in the recent election.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> <br /> No one remembers that stuff anymore. Funny how few people stick around any length of time. <br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> None of that is even relevant anymore. That was all in Connecticut.<br /> 'Monsters' of the week include the Neo-Anda (numbering 100-300, a ridiculous number), --&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Sire==<br /> &lt;!--Stephanie Rider, an Anarch Malkavian from Springfield. Not Stephanie Ryder the Gangrel Porn Star. She is missing, but presumed still undead.<br /> <br /> Update - This is now a fact up for debate. It turns out there never was a Stephanie Rider. This appears to be a false memory.--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Childer==<br /> &lt;!--Brian has no childer he knows of, and no current want for any more headaches. <br /> <br /> Two ghouls are enough trouble. - Note, His two original ghouls were killed under mysterious circumstances. He had been seen recently with the infamous womanizer &quot;Arturo 'Mr. Fandango' Calivari&quot;, but it appears that Brian has abandoned Arturo. He has been seen wandering around the tri state area with a new ghoul. There are rumors that the ghoul is a criminal who wronged Brian seriously in the past, and this is his punishment to the pitiful creature.<br /> <br /> Brian has begun to show off some of the larger robots he's built, with combat capabilities.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> Brian still hasn't sired, but he's had one successful surrogate under the accounting, and has a second one who is flighty. Additionally, his sentient Robot BB Girl has come home and is being reworked into a sort of... childe.<br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> Brian is lonely. Maybe he should sire?--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Broodmates==<br /> &lt;!--Unknown. He lost touch with his sire, and never got to know if he has any other vampiric siblings.--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Character Inspirations==<br /> &lt;!--*Salvador Dali<br /> *Dr. Steel<br /> *Nikola Tesla<br /> *Vincent Van Gogh<br /> *Matt Stone<br /> *Adam Savage<br /> *Doctor Frankenstien<br /> *Doctor Light--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Soundtrack==<br /> &lt;!--*&quot;Where is my mind?&quot;<br /> *&quot;I am the Walrus&quot;<br /> *&quot;The Man Who Sold The World&quot;<br /> *&quot;Lament for a Toy Factory&quot;<br /> *&quot;Build the Robots&quot;<br /> *&quot;I Can Make You A Man&quot;*--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Quotes==<br /> &quot;Don't quote me.&quot;<br /> <br /> ==Rumors==<br /> &lt;!--<br /> *Brian was an Anarch<br /> *I heard him talking about sex robots.<br /> Five Years Later<br /> *He is the white castle.<br /> Seven Years After That<br /> *He's created robots of all the members of the domain in order to replace them<br /> *He's working on something new involving clones<br /> *Was around at the beginning of the universe<br /> *Will be the one to put the chairs on the tables and turns out the lights, and lock up the universe<br /> *Was touched by an angel<br /> *Is a favorite plaything of some god<br /> *Claims to have never killed anyone<br /> *Is secretly behind the recent surge in AI advancement<br /> *Is hosting a party in January, 2024 at the Science Museum in Boston.

His father was an Air Force veteran, his mother a homemaker and amateur artist. He spent his childhood and adolescence in Braintree, before going off to college. In 1998, he moved to Springfield, MA where he participated in the local art scene. After a few failed shows, he finally got a good gig for his series &quot;Funny Faces&quot; in 2000, where he met his sire, and was promptly embraced by her that very night of the show's opening. After that he spent a few years in Springfield, til in 2006, he decided to move to the nearby Camarillan domain of Hartford, realizing that structure was what he was missing in his unlife among the chaos of the Anarch movement. He was acknowledged by Prince Chekov, and made a few attempts at showing off his art, which were met with limited success. Shortly thereafter during the raids from New Haven Sabbat, Brian was attacked and sent into torpor. He woke up in early 2008 a changed being, and made his way back to the court, suffering a bad case of amnesia. Brian's works begin to earn him notoriety in the court, and his portraits of the Prince are highly praised. He develops a very close relationship with the princes of Hartford from this point on, and in November 2008, he is appointed the Keeper of Elysium by reigning Prince Stast. Brian takes to his duties with great fervor, creating new works of art, beefing up security at the major Elysia, developing media and bureaucratic contacts to cover up breaches of the masquerade, and studying intensely. He goes through the reign of Six more princes, always maintaining his position. In April 2011, Brian's behavior begins to change after an encounter with a being from another existence to which he lost his personal ghouls. His mind reshaped, he becomes less the happy housekeeper and more the merry malcontent. When the neocarthraganian threat struck the area, Brian was oddly silent, refusing to take a firm stand against the casino downtown, raising questions as to his loyalty. Further questions were raised when, in September 2011 he disobeyed orders from the prince and following the lead of a younger kindred who said she had been sent on a mission by Prince Anya to bring a message to the Whore of Babylon inside the casino, set about trying to gain entrance to the casino by distracting the guards, which lead to a firefight at the entrance gate. Sneaking past during the ensuing chaos, Brian was attempting to gain entry to the security shed to destroy the evidence when he was shot by a military assault team emerging from inside the casino. What he did not know at the time, was that this botched the entire operation which was being planned for that evening by the rest of the court to destroy the temple. When he returned to the court that evening, he took his punishment without protest, admitting to his extremely poor judgement, and lack of diligence in investigating the story of the neonate. He was stripped of his Diligent status for this scandal and for his disobedience. The neonate for her part, admitted to duping Brian, and proceeded to mouth off to the rest of the court, nearly getting herself killed. Brian spent the next month keeping to himself in his lab so he would not get in further trouble. In October, the assault on the temple occurred, and Brian, done up in clown makeup and carrying several balloons he claimed were filled with a paralytic gas joined the fray, helping to clear out mortal bystanders. The ritual was stopped, but the Whore got away. The next month was the yearly Northeast Event, which he had to not only keep an eye on the Camarillans and Anarchs, but also the Sabbat who showed up as well, as part of the truce. Brian found the affair rather boring, and kept leaving, missing the entire combat encounter which occurred inside the Elysium between the whore and the combined forces of the Camarilla, Anarchs and Sabbat, causing many breaches of the Elysium, none of which he could have seen. At the end of the gathering, he was asked to pass judgement on the evening's events, as far as the Elysium was concerned, and dredging up an old piece of lore about his position, made the hasty decision to say that &quot;during times of great danger to the domain and Elysium, the keeper can choose to temporarily suspend the Elysium to allow for a threat to be dealt with.&quot; This was unwise, and he should have taken time to think about his decision. This decision made many people angry, and weakened his reputation further. Deciding to run, he packed everything and left the city in a hurry, heading back up to Massachusetts. He was stopped near Worcester and forced to head back to Springfield, which he found practically deserted. He headed then to Westchester where he sought asylum from the Prince, which was denied, stating that they thought he should take some more time, calm down, and think about what he needed to do, instead of acting out of fear. He returned to Hartford the next month, and found that the Prince was missing, or away, and was asked to stay on as Keeper for the time being until he could talk with the prince. He was later approached by [[Tobias Ashford]] and asked to attend a meeting, where he was tasked with tracking down and destroying the being known as Stitches, along with a group of 5 Anarchs.

His father was an Air Force veteran, his mother a homemaker and amateur artist. He spent his childhood and adolescence in Braintree, before going off to college. In 1998, he moved to Springfield, MA where he participated in the local art scene. After a few failed shows, he finally got a good gig for his series &quot;Funny Faces&quot; in 2000, where he met his sire, and was promptly embraced by her that very night of the show's opening. After that he spent a few years in Springfield, til in 2006, he decided to move to the nearby Camarillan domain of Hartford, realizing that structure was what he was missing in his unlife among the chaos of the Anarch movement. He was acknowledged by Prince Chekov, and made a few attempts at showing off his art, which were met with limited success. Shortly thereafter during the raids from New Haven Sabbat, Brian was attacked and sent into torpor. He woke up in early 2008 a changed being, and made his way back to the court, suffering a bad case of amnesia. Brian's works begin to earn him notoriety in the court, and his portraits of the Prince are highly praised. He develops a very close relationship with the princes of Hartford from this point on, and in November 2008, he is appointed the Keeper of Elysium by reigning Prince Stast. Brian takes to his duties with great fervor, creating new works of art, beefing up security at the major Elysia, developing media and bureaucratic contacts to cover up breaches of the masquerade, and studying intensely. He goes through the reign of Six more princes, always maintaining his position. In April 2011, Brian's behavior begins to change after an encounter with a being from another existence to which he lost his personal ghouls. His mind reshaped, he becomes less the happy housekeeper and more the merry malcontent. When the neocarthraganian threat struck the area, Brian was oddly silent, refusing to take a firm stand against the casino downtown, raising questions as to his loyalty. Further questions were raised when, in September 2011 he disobeyed orders from the prince and following the lead of a younger kindred who said she had been sent on a mission by Prince Anya to bring a message to the Whore of Babylon inside the casino, set about trying to gain entrance to the casino by distracting the guards, which lead to a firefight at the entrance gate. Sneaking past during the ensuing chaos, Brian was attempting to gain entry to the security shed to destroy the evidence when he was shot by a military assault team emerging from inside the casino. What he did not know at the time, was that this botched the entire operation which was being planned for that evening by the rest of the court to destroy the temple. When he returned to the court that evening, he took his punishment without protest, admitting to his extremely poor judgement, and lack of diligence in investigating the story of the neonate. He was stripped of his Diligent status for this scandal and for his disobedience. The neonate for her part, admitted to duping Brian, and proceeded to mouth off to the rest of the court, nearly getting herself killed. Brian spent the next month keeping to himself in his lab so he would not get in further trouble. In October, the assault on the temple occurred, and Brian, done up in clown makeup and carrying several balloons he claimed were filled with a paralytic gas joined the fray, helping to clear out mortal bystanders. The ritual was stopped, but the Whore got away. The next month was the yearly Northeast Event, which he had to not only keep an eye on the Camarillans and Anarchs, but also the Sabbat who showed up as well, as part of the truce. Brian found the affair rather boring, and kept leaving, missing the entire combat encounter which occurred inside the Elysium between the whore and the combined forces of the Camarilla, Anarchs and Sabbat, causing many breaches of the Elysium, none of which he could have seen. At the end of the gathering, he was asked to pass judgement on the evening's events, as far as the Elysium was concerned, and dredging up an old piece of lore about his position, made the hasty decision to say that &quot;during times of great danger to the domain and Elysium, the keeper can choose to temporarily suspend the Elysium to allow for a threat to be dealt with.&quot; This was unwise, and he should have taken time to think about his decision. This decision made many people angry, and weakened his reputation further. Deciding to run, he packed everything and left the city in a hurry, heading back up to Massachusetts. He was stopped near Worcester and forced to head back to Springfield, which he found practically deserted. He headed then to Westchester where he sought asylum from the Prince, which was denied, stating that they thought he should take some more time, calm down, and think about what he needed to do, instead of acting out of fear. He returned to Hartford the next month, and found that the Prince was missing, or away, and was asked to stay on as Keeper for the time being until he could talk with the prince. He was later approached by [[Tobias Ashford]] and asked to attend a meeting, where he was tasked with tracking down and destroying the being known as Stitches, along with a group of 5 Anarchs. Being the most familiar with the problem and the most charismatic of the group, he became the defacto leader. The Anarchs took him back to their base of operations where he was greeted with Hostility from some of their more aggressive members, but managed to avoid being mauled. He has reclaimed his havens, having not missed a month's rent, and is currently still operating in Hartford. He went back to Westchester this past week and thanked the Prince for his advice, letting him know he would no longer require asylum. While there, he was approached by members of the Mafia to perform a task for them involving property destruction. No story has been seen in any newspapers regarding an incident like this. Brian recently resigned the office of the Keeper of Elysium in Hartford.<br /> <br /> Five years Later<br /> <br /> Brian resurfaced from his lab in 2016, greatly enlightened. He was quickly made Primogen of Clan Malkavian in Hartford, a position for which there would soon be a need. A new Malkavian Prince emerged in nearby New Britain, and then everything went crazy.<br /> <br /> Nick Clemente<br /> <br /> In October 2016 a freshly made Malkavian Neonate came stumbling into Hartford, having learned about us on the internet. He was placed under Brian's accounting, and Brian did his best to teach the young Malkavian what he understood about the ins and outs of polite Kindred society. In some ways, he appears to have done exceedingly well, in others, terribly poorly. Nick burns bright and fast, gaining status outstripping his 'sire' within a year's time. Brian is very proud of him, he has said. Somehow, all the intrigues surrounding Biltmore and Quentin King seem to focus on Nick when they seek an outlet, and Brian tries to put the pieces of a larger picture together than even Nick's puzzle obsession may be capable of seeing.<br /> <br /> Giga Girl / BB Girl<br /> <br /> Brian recently recovered the BB Girl project, a sentient AI trapped in a robot shell he'd sold to a Toreador. He believes he must teach her the meaning of love. Some people told Brian that love is a warm gun. Others (women) tried to get through his (male) skull that that wasn't right at all. <br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> <br /> What the hell am I even doing here anymore? Every problem seems to require magic these days. Brian makes little progress on his experiments. Things used to be so much easier. He feels like he's hit a glass ceiling.--&gt;<br /> <br /> March 2024<br /> Brian hosted a very successful Science Fair at the Science Museum of Boston, proposing it as the new Elysium, in Malkavian Territory.<br /> A tear in reality occurs spilling beings from an alternate universe into ours. Brian is ordered to go nowhere near the tear by the prince and others, being deemed too important to be allowed to disappear.<br /> <br /> April 8th, 2024, 15:29<br /> Brian disappears during the Total Eclipse of the Sun.<br /> <br /> ==Coterie==<br /> &lt;!--Brian has managed to gain a degree of leadership over a pack of Anarchs. He was very close to The Prince and Seneschal, and other city officials, as well as friendly with the Nosferatu Prince of Westchester [[Edmond Dantes]]. This has all changed recently. Brian is now persona non-gratia among many of the city's officials since resigning his post and being publicly humiliated for his sins.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> <br /> Not sure who Brian could call an ally anymore, other than his surrogate childe Nick.<br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> <br /> They've all moved to Boston. Brian followed because it used to be his home when he was alive, and it's a city that seems to respect intelligence. <br /> Brian has been invited to coterie with some of the other longstanding primogen and officers of the court of Boston. Members include Primogen [[Chasyn Gentry]], [[Penelope Vanderbilt]], [[Jupiter Avalon]], and [[Shae Swyft]].--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Allies==<br /> &lt;!--Brian has some connections to the Hartford Arts Council, and maintains membership on their board. The director is a close friend and ally in Brian's struggle to bring Hartford the cultural clout it deserves. Brian's new connections with Comedy Central are proving very beneficial to the region, causing the creation of about 50 new jobs in entertainment in the area. These people love him, and owe their livelihood to him. He treats them with the respect and courtesy they deserve, and he does what he can to foster their dreams working in entertainment.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> The show has run it's course, but he's gotten some fame out of it. He's started branching into the financial and military sectors.<br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> He's had to move his entire operation to Boston. Luckily, he was still remembered here from his mortal days, and using some of his Family's connections, he was able to reestablish himself quickly in Boston. --&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Enemies==<br /> &lt;!--He's such a nice guy, and he really doesn't step on many toes, but He's begun to stumble in his sanity and his position as Keeper of the Elysium, with his spectacular failure at the Northeast Event, nullifying the Elysium temporarily under an arcane rule instead of stripping the prince and several other Camarillans of their standing in the sect, and losing face in front of the entire gathered crowd, Sabbat and Anarchs among them. He has a professional rivalry with Toreador Primogen James Norton, whom he has fallen out of favor with due to his recent inaction on the breaches of the Elysium that occured at the Northeast Event. Brian has since resigned his post as Keeper of Elysium.<br /> <br /> Brian made a lot of people angry by disobeying Prince Anya's edict not to go near the Whore's temple casino, resulting in months of planning, boons, favors and money to all go down the drain according to the Prince. He is in big trouble with the Prince and all of clan Assamite, as well as his own Primogen.<br /> <br /> Brian also dislikes the WWE, claiming it's not real entertainment, just mindless fans of violence, testosterone junkies, and poorly scripted matches that a child should be able to decipher. He uses every opportunity in his cartoons to lay the smackdown on World Wrestling Entertainment. There are rumors he helped fund Chris Murphy to defeat Linda McMahon in the recent election.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> <br /> No one remembers that stuff anymore. Funny how few people stick around any length of time. <br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> None of that is even relevant anymore. That was all in Connecticut.<br /> 'Monsters' of the week include the Neo-Anda (numbering 100-300, a ridiculous number), --&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Sire==<br /> &lt;!--Stephanie Rider, an Anarch Malkavian from Springfield. Not Stephanie Ryder the Gangrel Porn Star. She is missing, but presumed still undead.<br /> <br /> Update - This is now a fact up for debate. It turns out there never was a Stephanie Rider. This appears to be a false memory.--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Childer==<br /> &lt;!--Brian has no childer he knows of, and no current want for any more headaches. <br /> <br /> Two ghouls are enough trouble. - Note, His two original ghouls were killed under mysterious circumstances. He had been seen recently with the infamous womanizer &quot;Arturo 'Mr. Fandango' Calivari&quot;, but it appears that Brian has abandoned Arturo. He has been seen wandering around the tri state area with a new ghoul. There are rumors that the ghoul is a criminal who wronged Brian seriously in the past, and this is his punishment to the pitiful creature.<br /> <br /> Brian has begun to show off some of the larger robots he's built, with combat capabilities.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> Brian still hasn't sired, but he's had one successful surrogate under the accounting, and has a second one who is flighty. Additionally, his sentient Robot BB Girl has come home and is being reworked into a sort of... childe.<br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> Brian is lonely. Maybe he should sire?--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Broodmates==<br /> &lt;!--Unknown. He lost touch with his sire, and never got to know if he has any other vampiric siblings.--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Character Inspirations==<br /> &lt;!--*Salvador Dali<br /> *Dr. Steel<br /> *Nikola Tesla<br /> *Vincent Van Gogh<br /> *Matt Stone<br /> *Adam Savage<br /> *Doctor Frankenstien<br /> *Doctor Light--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Soundtrack==<br /> &lt;!--*&quot;Where is my mind?&quot;<br /> *&quot;I am the Walrus&quot;<br /> *&quot;The Man Who Sold The World&quot;<br /> *&quot;Lament for a Toy Factory&quot;<br /> *&quot;Build the Robots&quot;<br /> *&quot;I Can Make You A Man&quot;*--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Quotes==<br /> &quot;Don't quote me.&quot;<br /> <br /> ==Rumors==<br /> &lt;!--<br /> *Brian was an Anarch<br /> *I heard him talking about sex robots.<br /> Five Years Later<br /> *He is the white castle.<br /> Seven Years After That<br /> *He's created robots of all the members of the domain in order to replace them<br /> *He's working on something new involving clones<br /> *Was around at the beginning of the universe<br /> *Will be the one to put the chairs on the tables and turns out the lights, and lock up the universe<br /> *Was touched by an angel<br /> *Is a favorite plaything of some god<br /> *Claims to have never killed anyone<br /> *Is secretly behind the recent surge in AI advancement<br /> *Is hosting a party in January, 2024 at the Science Museum in Boston.

His father was an Air Force veteran, his mother a homemaker and amateur artist. He spent his childhood and adolescence in Braintree, before going off to college. In 1998, he moved to Springfield, MA where he participated in the local art scene. After a few failed shows, he finally got a good gig for his series &quot;Funny Faces&quot; in 2000, where he met his sire, and was promptly embraced by her that very night of the show's opening. After that he spent a few years in Springfield, til in 2006, he decided to move to the nearby Camarillan domain of Hartford, realizing that structure was what he was missing in his unlife among the chaos of the Anarch movement. He was acknowledged by Prince Chekov, and made a few attempts at showing off his art, which were met with limited success. Shortly thereafter during the raids from New Haven Sabbat, Brian was attacked and sent into torpor. He woke up in early 2008 a changed being, and made his way back to the court, suffering a bad case of amnesia. Brian's works begin to earn him notoriety in the court, and his portraits of the Prince are highly praised. He develops a very close relationship with the princes of Hartford from this point on, and in November 2008, he is appointed the Keeper of Elysium by reigning Prince Stast. Brian takes to his duties with great fervor, creating new works of art, beefing up security at the major Elysia, developing media and bureaucratic contacts to cover up breaches of the masquerade, and studying intensely. He goes through the reign of Six more princes, always maintaining his position. In April 2011, Brian's behavior begins to change after an encounter with a being from another existence to which he lost his personal ghouls. His mind reshaped, he becomes less the happy housekeeper and more the merry malcontent. When the neocarthraganian threat struck the area, Brian was oddly silent, refusing to take a firm stand against the casino downtown, raising questions as to his loyalty. Further questions were raised when, in September 2011 he disobeyed orders from the prince and following the lead of a younger kindred who said she had been sent on a mission by Prince Anya to bring a message to the Whore of Babylon inside the casino, set about trying to gain entrance to the casino by distracting the guards, which lead to a firefight at the entrance gate. Sneaking past during the ensuing chaos, Brian was attempting to gain entry to the security shed to destroy the evidence when he was shot by a military assault team emerging from inside the casino. What he did not know at the time, was that this botched the entire operation which was being planned for that evening by the rest of the court to destroy the temple. When he returned to the court that evening, he took his punishment without protest, admitting to his extremely poor judgement, and lack of diligence in investigating the story of the neonate. He was stripped of his Diligent status for this scandal and for his disobedience. The neonate for her part, admitted to duping Brian, and proceeded to mouth off to the rest of the court, nearly getting herself killed. Brian spent the next month keeping to himself in his lab so he would not get in further trouble. In October, the assault on the temple occurred, and Brian, done up in clown makeup and carrying several balloons he claimed were filled with a paralytic gas joined the fray, helping to clear out mortal bystanders. The ritual was stopped, but the Whore got away. The next month was the yearly Northeast Event, which he had to not only keep an eye on the Camarillans and Anarchs, but also the Sabbat who showed up as well, as part of the truce. Brian found the affair rather boring, and kept leaving, missing the entire combat encounter which occurred inside the Elysium between the whore and the combined forces of the Camarilla, Anarchs and Sabbat, causing many breaches of the Elysium, none of which he could have seen. At the end of the gathering, he was asked to pass judgement on the evening's events, as far as the Elysium was concerned, and dredging up an old piece of lore about his position, made the hasty decision to say that &quot;during times of great danger to the domain and Elysium, the keeper can choose to temporarily suspend the Elysium to allow for a threat to be dealt with.&quot; This was unwise, and he should have taken time to think about his decision. This decision made many people angry, and weakened his reputation further. Deciding to run, he packed everything and left the city in a hurry, heading back up to Massachusetts. He was stopped near Worcester and forced to head back to Springfield, which he found practically deserted. He headed then to Westchester where he sought asylum from the Prince, which was denied, stating that they thought he should take some more time, calm down, and think about what he needed to do, instead of acting out of fear. He returned to Hartford the next month, and found that the Prince was missing, or away, and was asked to stay on as Keeper for the time being until he could talk with the prince. He was later approached by [[Tobias Ashford]] and asked to attend a meeting, where he was tasked with tracking down and destroying the being known as Stitches, along with a group of 5 Anarchs. Being the most familiar with the problem and the most charismatic of the group, he became the defacto leader. The Anarchs took him back to their base of operations where he was greeted with Hostility from some of their more aggressive members, but managed to avoid being mauled. He has reclaimed his havens, having not missed a month's rent, and is currently still operating in Hartford. He went back to Westchester this past week and thanked the Prince for his advice, letting him know he would no longer require asylum. While there, he was approached by members of the Mafia to perform a task for them involving property destruction. No story has been seen in any newspapers regarding an incident like this. Brian recently resigned the office of the Keeper of Elysium in Hartford.<br /> <br /> Five years Later<br /> <br /> Brian resurfaced from his lab in 2016, greatly enlightened. He was quickly made Primogen of Clan Malkavian in Hartford, a position for which there would soon be a need. A new Malkavian Prince emerged in nearby New Britain, and then everything went crazy.<br /> <br /> Nick Clemente<br /> <br /> In October 2016 a freshly made Malkavian Neonate came stumbling into Hartford, having learned about us on the internet. He was placed under Brian's accounting, and Brian did his best to teach the young Malkavian what he understood about the ins and outs of polite Kindred society. In some ways, he appears to have done exceedingly well, in others, terribly poorly. Nick burns bright and fast, gaining status outstripping his 'sire' within a year's time. Brian is very proud of him, he has said. Somehow, all the intrigues surrounding Biltmore and Quentin King seem to focus on Nick when they seek an outlet, and Brian tries to put the pieces of a larger picture together than even Nick's puzzle obsession may be capable of seeing.<br /> <br /> Giga Girl / BB Girl<br /> <br /> Brian recently recovered the BB Girl project, a sentient AI trapped in a robot shell he'd sold to a Toreador. He believes he must teach her the meaning of love. Some people told Brian that love is a warm gun. Others (women) tried to get through his (male) skull that that wasn't right at all. <br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> <br /> What the hell am I even doing here anymore? Every problem seems to require magic these days. Brian makes little progress on his experiments. Things used to be so much easier. He feels like he's hit a glass ceiling.--&gt;<br /> <br /> March 2024<br /> Brian hosted a very successful Science Fair at the Science Museum of Boston, proposing it as the new Elysium, in Malkavian Territory.<br /> A tear in reality occurs spilling beings from an alternate universe into ours. Brian is ordered to go nowhere near the tear by the prince and others, being deemed too important to be allowed to disappear.<br /> <br /> April 8th, 2024, 15:29<br /> Brian disappears during the Total Eclipse of the Sun.<br /> <br /> ==Coterie==<br /> &lt;!--Brian has managed to gain a degree of leadership over a pack of Anarchs. He was very close to The Prince and Seneschal, and other city officials, as well as friendly with the Nosferatu Prince of Westchester [[Edmond Dantes]]. This has all changed recently. Brian is now persona non-gratia among many of the city's officials since resigning his post and being publicly humiliated for his sins.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> <br /> Not sure who Brian could call an ally anymore, other than his surrogate childe Nick.<br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> <br /> They've all moved to Boston. Brian followed because it used to be his home when he was alive, and it's a city that seems to respect intelligence. <br /> Brian has been invited to coterie with some of the other longstanding primogen and officers of the court of Boston. Members include Primogen [[Chasyn Gentry]], [[Penelope Vanderbilt]], [[Jupiter Avalon]], and [[Shae Swyft]].--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Allies==<br /> &lt;!--Brian has some connections to the Hartford Arts Council, and maintains membership on their board. The director is a close friend and ally in Brian's struggle to bring Hartford the cultural clout it deserves. Brian's new connections with Comedy Central are proving very beneficial to the region, causing the creation of about 50 new jobs in entertainment in the area. These people love him, and owe their livelihood to him. He treats them with the respect and courtesy they deserve, and he does what he can to foster their dreams working in entertainment.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> The show has run it's course, but he's gotten some fame out of it. He's started branching into the financial and military sectors.<br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> He's had to move his entire operation to Boston. Luckily, he was still remembered here from his mortal days, and using some of his Family's connections, he was able to reestablish himself quickly in Boston. --&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Enemies==<br /> &lt;!--He's such a nice guy, and he really doesn't step on many toes, but He's begun to stumble in his sanity and his position as Keeper of the Elysium, with his spectacular failure at the Northeast Event, nullifying the Elysium temporarily under an arcane rule instead of stripping the prince and several other Camarillans of their standing in the sect, and losing face in front of the entire gathered crowd, Sabbat and Anarchs among them. He has a professional rivalry with Toreador Primogen James Norton, whom he has fallen out of favor with due to his recent inaction on the breaches of the Elysium that occured at the Northeast Event. Brian has since resigned his post as Keeper of Elysium.<br /> <br /> Brian made a lot of people angry by disobeying Prince Anya's edict not to go near the Whore's temple casino, resulting in months of planning, boons, favors and money to all go down the drain according to the Prince. He is in big trouble with the Prince and all of clan Assamite, as well as his own Primogen.<br /> <br /> Brian also dislikes the WWE, claiming it's not real entertainment, just mindless fans of violence, testosterone junkies, and poorly scripted matches that a child should be able to decipher. He uses every opportunity in his cartoons to lay the smackdown on World Wrestling Entertainment. There are rumors he helped fund Chris Murphy to defeat Linda McMahon in the recent election.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> <br /> No one remembers that stuff anymore. Funny how few people stick around any length of time. <br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> None of that is even relevant anymore. That was all in Connecticut.<br /> 'Monsters' of the week include the Neo-Anda (numbering 100-300, a ridiculous number), --&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Sire==<br /> &lt;!--Stephanie Rider, an Anarch Malkavian from Springfield. Not Stephanie Ryder the Gangrel Porn Star. She is missing, but presumed still undead.<br /> <br /> Update - This is now a fact up for debate. It turns out there never was a Stephanie Rider. This appears to be a false memory.--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Childer==<br /> &lt;!--Brian has no childer he knows of, and no current want for any more headaches. <br /> <br /> Two ghouls are enough trouble. - Note, His two original ghouls were killed under mysterious circumstances. He had been seen recently with the infamous womanizer &quot;Arturo 'Mr. Fandango' Calivari&quot;, but it appears that Brian has abandoned Arturo. He has been seen wandering around the tri state area with a new ghoul. There are rumors that the ghoul is a criminal who wronged Brian seriously in the past, and this is his punishment to the pitiful creature.<br /> <br /> Brian has begun to show off some of the larger robots he's built, with combat capabilities.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> Brian still hasn't sired, but he's had one successful surrogate under the accounting, and has a second one who is flighty. Additionally, his sentient Robot BB Girl has come home and is being reworked into a sort of... childe.<br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> Brian is lonely. Maybe he should sire?--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Broodmates==<br /> &lt;!--Unknown. He lost touch with his sire, and never got to know if he has any other vampiric siblings.--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Character Inspirations==<br /> &lt;!--*Salvador Dali<br /> *Dr. Steel<br /> *Nikola Tesla<br /> *Vincent Van Gogh<br /> *Matt Stone<br /> *Adam Savage<br /> *Doctor Frankenstien<br /> *Doctor Light--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Soundtrack==<br /> &lt;!--*&quot;Where is my mind?&quot;<br /> *&quot;I am the Walrus&quot;<br /> *&quot;The Man Who Sold The World&quot;<br /> *&quot;Lament for a Toy Factory&quot;<br /> *&quot;Build the Robots&quot;<br /> *&quot;I Can Make You A Man&quot;*--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Quotes==<br /> &quot;Don't quote me.&quot;<br /> <br /> ==Rumors==<br /> &lt;!--<br /> *Brian was an Anarch<br /> *I heard him talking about sex robots.<br /> Five Years Later<br /> *He is the white castle.<br /> Seven Years After That<br /> *He's created robots of all the members of the domain in order to replace them<br /> *He's working on something new involving clones<br /> *Was around at the beginning of the universe<br /> *Will be the one to put the chairs on the tables and turns out the lights, and lock up the universe<br /> *Was touched by an angel<br /> *Is a favorite plaything of some god<br /> *Claims to have never killed anyone<br /> *Is secretly behind the recent surge in AI advancement<br /> *Is hosting a party in January, 2024 at the Science Museum in Boston.

His father was an Air Force veteran, his mother a homemaker and amateur artist. He spent his childhood and adolescence in Braintree, before going off to college. In 1998, he moved to Springfield, MA where he participated in the local art scene. After a few failed shows, he finally got a good gig for his series &quot;Funny Faces&quot; in 2000, where he met his sire, and was promptly embraced by her that very night of the show's opening. After that he spent a few years in Springfield, til in 2006, he decided to move to the nearby Camarillan domain of Hartford, realizing that structure was what he was missing in his unlife among the chaos of the Anarch movement. He was acknowledged by Prince Chekov, and made a few attempts at showing off his art, which were met with limited success. Shortly thereafter during the raids from New Haven Sabbat, Brian was attacked and sent into torpor. He woke up in early 2008 a changed being, and made his way back to the court, suffering a bad case of amnesia. Brian's works begin to earn him notoriety in the court, and his portraits of the Prince are highly praised. He develops a very close relationship with the princes of Hartford from this point on, and in November 2008, he is appointed the Keeper of Elysium by reigning Prince Stast. Brian takes to his duties with great fervor, creating new works of art, beefing up security at the major Elysia, developing media and bureaucratic contacts to cover up breaches of the masquerade, and studying intensely. He goes through the reign of Six more princes, always maintaining his position. In April 2011, Brian's behavior begins to change after an encounter with a being from another existence to which he lost his personal ghouls. His mind reshaped, he becomes less the happy housekeeper and more the merry malcontent. When the neocarthraganian threat struck the area, Brian was oddly silent, refusing to take a firm stand against the casino downtown, raising questions as to his loyalty. Further questions were raised when, in September 2011 he disobeyed orders from the prince and following the lead of a younger kindred who said she had been sent on a mission by Prince Anya to bring a message to the Whore of Babylon inside the casino, set about trying to gain entrance to the casino by distracting the guards, which lead to a firefight at the entrance gate. Sneaking past during the ensuing chaos, Brian was attempting to gain entry to the security shed to destroy the evidence when he was shot by a military assault team emerging from inside the casino. What he did not know at the time, was that this botched the entire operation which was being planned for that evening by the rest of the court to destroy the temple. When he returned to the court that evening, he took his punishment without protest, admitting to his extremely poor judgement, and lack of diligence in investigating the story of the neonate. He was stripped of his Diligent status for this scandal and for his disobedience. The neonate for her part, admitted to duping Brian, and proceeded to mouth off to the rest of the court, nearly getting herself killed. Brian spent the next month keeping to himself in his lab so he would not get in further trouble. In October, the assault on the temple occurred, and Brian, done up in clown makeup and carrying several balloons he claimed were filled with a paralytic gas joined the fray, helping to clear out mortal bystanders. The ritual was stopped, but the Whore got away. The next month was the yearly Northeast Event, which he had to not only keep an eye on the Camarillans and Anarchs, but also the Sabbat who showed up as well, as part of the truce. Brian found the affair rather boring, and kept leaving, missing the entire combat encounter which occurred inside the Elysium between the whore and the combined forces of the Camarilla, Anarchs and Sabbat, causing many breaches of the Elysium, none of which he could have seen. At the end of the gathering, he was asked to pass judgement on the evening's events, as far as the Elysium was concerned, and dredging up an old piece of lore about his position, made the hasty decision to say that &quot;during times of great danger to the domain and Elysium, the keeper can choose to temporarily suspend the Elysium to allow for a threat to be dealt with.&quot; This was unwise, and he should have taken time to think about his decision. This decision made many people angry, and weakened his reputation further. Deciding to run, he packed everything and left the city in a hurry, heading back up to Massachusetts. He was stopped near Worcester and forced to head back to Springfield, which he found practically deserted. He headed then to Westchester where he sought asylum from the Prince, which was denied, stating that they thought he should take some more time, calm down, and think about what he needed to do, instead of acting out of fear. He returned to Hartford the next month, and found that the Prince was missing, or away, and was asked to stay on as Keeper for the time being until he could talk with the prince. He was later approached by [[Tobias Ashford]] and asked to attend a meeting, where he was tasked with tracking down and destroying the being known as Stitches, along with a group of 5 Anarchs. Being the most familiar with the problem and the most charismatic of the group, he became the defacto leader. The Anarchs took him back to their base of operations where he was greeted with Hostility from some of their more aggressive members, but managed to avoid being mauled. He has reclaimed his havens, having not missed a month's rent, and is currently still operating in Hartford. He went back to Westchester this past week and thanked the Prince for his advice, letting him know he would no longer require asylum. While there, he was approached by members of the Mafia to perform a task for them involving property destruction. No story has been seen in any newspapers regarding an incident like this. Brian recently resigned the office of the Keeper of Elysium in Hartford.<br /> <br /> Five years Later<br /> <br /> Brian resurfaced from his lab in 2016, greatly enlightened. He was quickly made Primogen of Clan Malkavian in Hartford, a position for which there would soon be a need. A new Malkavian Prince emerged in nearby New Britain, and then everything went crazy.<br /> <br /> Nick Clemente<br /> <br /> In October 2016 a freshly made Malkavian Neonate came stumbling into Hartford, having learned about us on the internet. He was placed under Brian's accounting, and Brian did his best to teach the young Malkavian what he understood about the ins and outs of polite Kindred society. In some ways, he appears to have done exceedingly well, in others, terribly poorly. Nick burns bright and fast, gaining status outstripping his 'sire' within a year's time. Brian is very proud of him, he has said. Somehow, all the intrigues surrounding Biltmore and Quentin King seem to focus on Nick when they seek an outlet, and Brian tries to put the pieces of a larger picture together than even Nick's puzzle obsession may be capable of seeing.<br /> <br /> Giga Girl / BB Girl<br /> <br /> Brian recently recovered the BB Girl project, a sentient AI trapped in a robot shell he'd sold to a Toreador. He believes he must teach her the meaning of love. Some people told Brian that love is a warm gun. Others (women) tried to get through his (male) skull that that wasn't right at all. <br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> <br /> What the hell am I even doing here anymore? Every problem seems to require magic these days. Brian makes little progress on his experiments. Things used to be so much easier. He feels like he's hit a glass ceiling.<br /> <br /> March 2024<br /> Brian hosted a very successful Science Fair at the Science Museum of Boston, proposing it as the new Elysium, in Malkavian Territory.<br /> A tear in reality occurs spilling beings from an alternate universe into ours. Brian is ordered to go nowhere near the tear by the prince and others, being deemed too important to be allowed to disappear.<br /> <br /> April 8th, 2024, 15:29<br /> Brian disappears during the Total Eclipse of the Sun.<br /> <br /> ==Coterie==<br /> Brian has managed to gain a degree of leadership over a pack of Anarchs. He was very close to The Prince and Seneschal, and other city officials, as well as friendly with the Nosferatu Prince of Westchester [[Edmond Dantes]]. This has all changed recently. Brian is now persona non-gratia among many of the city's officials since resigning his post and being publicly humiliated for his sins.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> <br /> Not sure who Brian could call an ally anymore, other than his surrogate childe Nick.<br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> <br /> They've all moved to Boston. Brian followed because it used to be his home when he was alive, and it's a city that seems to respect intelligence. <br /> Brian has been invited to coterie with some of the other longstanding primogen and officers of the court of Boston. Members include Primogen [[Chasyn Gentry]], [[Penelope Vanderbilt]], [[Jupiter Avalon]], and [[Shae Swyft]].<br /> <br /> ==Allies==<br /> Brian has some connections to the Hartford Arts Council, and maintains membership on their board. The director is a close friend and ally in Brian's struggle to bring Hartford the cultural clout it deserves. Brian's new connections with Comedy Central are proving very beneficial to the region, causing the creation of about 50 new jobs in entertainment in the area. These people love him, and owe their livelihood to him. He treats them with the respect and courtesy they deserve, and he does what he can to foster their dreams working in entertainment.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> The show has run it's course, but he's gotten some fame out of it. He's started branching into the financial and military sectors.<br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> He's had to move his entire operation to Boston.

His father was an Air Force veteran, his mother a homemaker and amateur artist. He spent his childhood and adolescence in Braintree, before going off to college. In 1998, he moved to Springfield, MA where he participated in the local art scene. After a few failed shows, he finally got a good gig for his series &quot;Funny Faces&quot; in 2000, where he met his sire, and was promptly embraced by her that very night of the show's opening. After that he spent a few years in Springfield, til in 2006, he decided to move to the nearby Camarillan domain of Hartford, realizing that structure was what he was missing in his unlife among the chaos of the Anarch movement. He was acknowledged by Prince Chekov, and made a few attempts at showing off his art, which were met with limited success. Shortly thereafter during the raids from New Haven Sabbat, Brian was attacked and sent into torpor. He woke up in early 2008 a changed being, and made his way back to the court, suffering a bad case of amnesia. Brian's works begin to earn him notoriety in the court, and his portraits of the Prince are highly praised. He develops a very close relationship with the princes of Hartford from this point on, and in November 2008, he is appointed the Keeper of Elysium by reigning Prince Stast. Brian takes to his duties with great fervor, creating new works of art, beefing up security at the major Elysia, developing media and bureaucratic contacts to cover up breaches of the masquerade, and studying intensely. He goes through the reign of Six more princes, always maintaining his position. In April 2011, Brian's behavior begins to change after an encounter with a being from another existence to which he lost his personal ghouls. His mind reshaped, he becomes less the happy housekeeper and more the merry malcontent. When the neocarthraganian threat struck the area, Brian was oddly silent, refusing to take a firm stand against the casino downtown, raising questions as to his loyalty. Further questions were raised when, in September 2011 he disobeyed orders from the prince and following the lead of a younger kindred who said she had been sent on a mission by Prince Anya to bring a message to the Whore of Babylon inside the casino, set about trying to gain entrance to the casino by distracting the guards, which lead to a firefight at the entrance gate. Sneaking past during the ensuing chaos, Brian was attempting to gain entry to the security shed to destroy the evidence when he was shot by a military assault team emerging from inside the casino. What he did not know at the time, was that this botched the entire operation which was being planned for that evening by the rest of the court to destroy the temple. When he returned to the court that evening, he took his punishment without protest, admitting to his extremely poor judgement, and lack of diligence in investigating the story of the neonate. He was stripped of his Diligent status for this scandal and for his disobedience. The neonate for her part, admitted to duping Brian, and proceeded to mouth off to the rest of the court, nearly getting herself killed. Brian spent the next month keeping to himself in his lab so he would not get in further trouble. In October, the assault on the temple occurred, and Brian, done up in clown makeup and carrying several balloons he claimed were filled with a paralytic gas joined the fray, helping to clear out mortal bystanders. The ritual was stopped, but the Whore got away. The next month was the yearly Northeast Event, which he had to not only keep an eye on the Camarillans and Anarchs, but also the Sabbat who showed up as well, as part of the truce. Brian found the affair rather boring, and kept leaving, missing the entire combat encounter which occurred inside the Elysium between the whore and the combined forces of the Camarilla, Anarchs and Sabbat, causing many breaches of the Elysium, none of which he could have seen. At the end of the gathering, he was asked to pass judgement on the evening's events, as far as the Elysium was concerned, and dredging up an old piece of lore about his position, made the hasty decision to say that &quot;during times of great danger to the domain and Elysium, the keeper can choose to temporarily suspend the Elysium to allow for a threat to be dealt with.&quot; This was unwise, and he should have taken time to think about his decision. This decision made many people angry, and weakened his reputation further. Deciding to run, he packed everything and left the city in a hurry, heading back up to Massachusetts. He was stopped near Worcester and forced to head back to Springfield, which he found practically deserted. He headed then to Westchester where he sought asylum from the Prince, which was denied, stating that they thought he should take some more time, calm down, and think about what he needed to do, instead of acting out of fear. He returned to Hartford the next month, and found that the Prince was missing, or away, and was asked to stay on as Keeper for the time being until he could talk with the prince. He was later approached by [[Tobias Ashford]] and asked to attend a meeting, where he was tasked with tracking down and destroying the being known as Stitches, along with a group of 5 Anarchs. Being the most familiar with the problem and the most charismatic of the group, he became the defacto leader. The Anarchs took him back to their base of operations where he was greeted with Hostility from some of their more aggressive members, but managed to avoid being mauled. He has reclaimed his havens, having not missed a month's rent, and is currently still operating in Hartford. He went back to Westchester this past week and thanked the Prince for his advice, letting him know he would no longer require asylum. While there, he was approached by members of the Mafia to perform a task for them involving property destruction. No story has been seen in any newspapers regarding an incident like this. Brian recently resigned the office of the Keeper of Elysium in Hartford.<br /> <br /> Five years Later<br /> <br /> Brian resurfaced from his lab in 2016, greatly enlightened.

The next month was the yearly Northeast Event, which he had to not only keep an eye on the Camarillans and Anarchs, but also the Sabbat who showed up as well, as part of the truce. Brian found the affair rather boring, and kept leaving, missing the entire combat encounter which occurred inside the Elysium between the whore and the combined forces of the Camarilla, Anarchs and Sabbat, causing many breaches of the Elysium, none of which he could have seen. At the end of the gathering, he was asked to pass judgement on the evening's events, as far as the Elysium was concerned, and dredging up an old piece of lore about his position, made the hasty decision to say that &quot;during times of great danger to the domain and Elysium, the keeper can choose to temporarily suspend the Elysium to allow for a threat to be dealt with.&quot; This was unwise, and he should have taken time to think about his decision. This decision made many people angry, and weakened his reputation further. Deciding to run, he packed everything and left the city in a hurry, heading back up to Massachusetts. He was stopped near Worcester and forced to head back to Springfield, which he found practically deserted. He headed then to Westchester where he sought asylum from the Prince, which was denied, stating that they thought he should take some more time, calm down, and think about what he needed to do, instead of acting out of fear. He returned to Hartford the next month, and found that the Prince was missing, or away, and was asked to stay on as Keeper for the time being until he could talk with the prince. He was later approached by [[Tobias Ashford]] and asked to attend a meeting, where he was tasked with tracking down and destroying the being known as Stitches, along with a group of 5 Anarchs. Being the most familiar with the problem and the most charismatic of the group, he became the defacto leader. The Anarchs took him back to their base of operations where he was greeted with Hostility from some of their more aggressive members, but managed to avoid being mauled. He has reclaimed his havens, having not missed a month's rent, and is currently still operating in Hartford. He went back to Westchester this past week and thanked the Prince for his advice, letting him know he would no longer require asylum.

His father was an Air Force veteran, his mother a homemaker and amateur artist. He spent his childhood and adolescence in Braintree, before going off to college. In 1998, he moved to Springfield, MA where he participated in the local art scene. After a few failed shows, he finally got a good gig for his series &quot;Funny Faces&quot; in 2000, where he met his sire, and was promptly embraced by her that very night of the show's opening. After that he spent a few years in Springfield, til in 2006, he decided to move to the nearby Camarillan domain of Hartford, realizing that structure was what he was missing in his unlife among the chaos of the Anarch movement. He was acknowledged by Prince Chekov, and made a few attempts at showing off his art, which were met with limited success. Shortly thereafter during the raids from New Haven Sabbat, Brian was attacked and sent into torpor. He woke up in early 2008 a changed being, and made his way back to the court, suffering a bad case of amnesia. Brian's works begin to earn him notoriety in the court, and his portraits of the Prince are highly praised. He develops a very close relationship with the princes of Hartford from this point on, and in November 2008, he is appointed the Keeper of Elysium by reigning Prince Stast. Brian takes to his duties with great fervor, creating new works of art, beefing up security at the major Elysia, developing media and bureaucratic contacts to cover up breaches of the masquerade, and studying intensely. He goes through the reign of Six more princes, always maintaining his position. In April 2011, Brian's behavior begins to change after an encounter with a being from another existence to which he lost his personal ghouls. His mind reshaped, he becomes less the happy housekeeper and more the merry malcontent. When the neocarthraganian threat struck the area, Brian was oddly silent, refusing to take a firm stand against the casino downtown, raising questions as to his loyalty. Further questions were raised when, in September 2011 he disobeyed orders from the prince and following the lead of a younger kindred who said she had been sent on a mission by Prince Anya to bring a message to the Whore of Babylon inside the casino, set about trying to gain entrance to the casino by distracting the guards, which lead to a firefight at the entrance gate. Sneaking past during the ensuing chaos, Brian was attempting to gain entry to the security shed to destroy the evidence when he was shot by a military assault team emerging from inside the casino. What he did not know at the time, was that this botched the entire operation which was being planned for that evening by the rest of the court to destroy the temple. When he returned to the court that evening, he took his punishment without protest, admitting to his extremely poor judgement, and lack of diligence in investigating the story of the neonate. He was stripped of his Diligent status for this scandal and for his disobedience. The neonate for her part, admitted to duping Brian, and proceeded to mouth off to the rest of the court, nearly getting herself killed. Brian spent the next month keeping to himself in his lab so he would not get in further trouble. In October, the assault on the temple occurred, and Brian, done up in clown makeup and carrying several balloons he claimed were filled with a paralytic gas joined the fray, helping to clear out mortal bystanders. The ritual was stopped, but the Whore got away. The next month was the yearly Northeast Event, which he had to not only keep an eye on the Camarillans and Anarchs, but also the Sabbat who showed up as well, as part of the truce. Brian found the affair rather boring, and kept leaving, missing the entire combat encounter which occurred inside the Elysium between the whore and the combined forces of the Camarilla, Anarchs and Sabbat, causing many breaches of the Elysium, none of which he could have seen. At the end of the gathering, he was asked to pass judgement on the evening's events, as far as the Elysium was concerned, and dredging up an old piece of lore about his position, made the hasty decision to say that &quot;during times of great danger to the domain and Elysium, the keeper can choose to temporarily suspend the Elysium to allow for a threat to be dealt with.&quot; This was unwise, and he should have taken time to think about his decision. This decision made many people angry, and weakened his reputation further. Deciding to run, he packed everything and left the city in a hurry, heading back up to Massachusetts. He was stopped near Worcester and forced to head back to Springfield, which he found practically deserted. He headed then to Westchester where he sought asylum from the Prince, which was denied, stating that they thought he should take some more time, calm down, and think about what he needed to do, instead of acting out of fear. He returned to Hartford the next month, and found that the Prince was missing, or away, and was asked to stay on as Keeper for the time being until he could talk with the prince. He was later approached by [[Tobias Ashford]] and asked to attend a meeting, where he was tasked with tracking down and destroying the being known as Stitches, along with a group of 5 Anarchs. Being the most familiar with the problem and the most charismatic of the group, he became the defacto leader. The Anarchs took him back to their base of operations where he was greeted with Hostility from some of their more aggressive members, but managed to avoid being mauled.

Brian takes to his duties with great fervor, creating new works of art, beefing up security at the major Elysia, developing media and bureaucratic contacts to cover up breaches of the masquerade, and studying intensely. He goes through the reign of Six more princes, always maintaining his position. In April 2011, Brian's behavior begins to change after an encounter with a being from another existence to which he lost his personal ghouls. His mind reshaped, he becomes less the happy housekeeper and more the merry malcontent. When the neocarthraganian threat struck the area, Brian was oddly silent, refusing to take a firm stand against the casino downtown, raising questions as to his loyalty. Further questions were raised when, in September 2011 he disobeyed orders from the prince and following the lead of a younger kindred who said she had been sent on a mission by Prince Anya to bring a message to the Whore of Babylon inside the casino, set about trying to gain entrance to the casino by distracting the guards, which lead to a firefight at the entrance gate. Sneaking past during the ensuing chaos, Brian was attempting to gain entry to the security shed to destroy the evidence when he was shot by a military assault team emerging from inside the casino. What he did not know at the time, was that this botched the entire operation which was being planned for that evening by the rest of the court to destroy the temple. When he returned to the court that evening, he took his punishment without protest, admitting to his extremely poor judgement, and lack of diligence in investigating the story of the neonate. He was stripped of his Diligent status for this scandal and for his disobedience. The neonate for her part, admitted to duping Brian, and proceeded to mouth off to the rest of the court, nearly getting herself killed. Brian spent the next month keeping to himself in his lab so he would not get in further trouble. In October, the assault on the temple occurred, and Brian, done up in clown makeup and carrying several balloons he claimed were filled with a paralytic gas joined the fray, helping to clear out mortal bystanders. The ritual was stopped, but the Whore got away. The next month was the yearly Northeast Event, which he had to not only keep an eye on the Camarillans and Anarchs, but also the Sabbat who showed up as well, as part of the truce. Brian found the affair rather boring, and kept leaving, missing the entire combat encounter which occurred inside the Elysium between the whore and the combined forces of the Camarilla, Anarchs and Sabbat, causing many breaches of the Elysium, none of which he could have seen. At the end of the gathering, he was asked to pass judgement on the evening's events, as far as the Elysium was concerned, and dredging up an old piece of lore about his position, made the hasty decision to say that &quot;during times of great danger to the domain and Elysium, the keeper can choose to temporarily suspend the Elysium to allow for a threat to be dealt with.&quot; This was unwise, and he should have taken time to think about his decision. This decision made many people angry, and weakened his reputation further. Deciding to run, he packed everything and left the city in a hurry, heading back up to Massachusetts. He was stopped near Worcester and forced to head back to Springfield, which he found practically deserted. He headed then to Westchester where he sought asylum from the Prince, which was denied, stating that they thought he should take some more time, calm down, and think about what he needed to do, instead of acting out of fear. He returned to Hartford the next month, and found that the Prince was missing, or away, and was asked to stay on as Keeper for the time being until he could talk with the prince. He was later approached by [[Tobias Ashford]] and asked to attend a meeting, where he was tasked with tracking down and destroying the being known as Stitches, along with a group of 5 Anarchs. Being the most familiar with the problem and the most charismatic of the group, he became the defacto leader. The Anarchs took him back to their base of operations where he was greeted with Hostility from some of their more aggressive members, but managed to avoid being mauled. He has reclaimed his havens, having not missed a month's rent, and is currently still operating in Hartford. He went back to Westchester this past week and thanked the Prince for his advice, letting him know he would no longer require asylum. While there, he was approached by members of the Mafia to perform a task for them involving property destruction. No story has been seen in any newspapers regarding an incident like this.

His father was an Air Force veteran, his mother a homemaker and amateur artist. He spent his childhood and adolescence in Braintree, before going off to college. In 1998, he moved to Springfield, MA where he participated in the local art scene. After a few failed shows, he finally got a good gig for his series &quot;Funny Faces&quot; in 2000, where he met his sire, and was promptly embraced by her that very night of the show's opening. After that he spent a few years in Springfield, til in 2006, he decided to move to the nearby Camarillan domain of Hartford, realizing that structure was what he was missing in his unlife among the chaos of the Anarch movement. He was acknowledged by Prince Chekov, and made a few attempts at showing off his art, which were met with limited success. Shortly thereafter during the raids from New Haven Sabbat, Brian was attacked and sent into torpor. He woke up in early 2008 a changed being, and made his way back to the court, suffering a bad case of amnesia. Brian's works begin to earn him notoriety in the court, and his portraits of the Prince are highly praised. He develops a very close relationship with the princes of Hartford from this point on, and in November 2008, he is appointed the Keeper of Elysium by reigning Prince Stast. Brian takes to his duties with great fervor, creating new works of art, beefing up security at the major Elysia, developing media and bureaucratic contacts to cover up breaches of the masquerade, and studying intensely. He goes through the reign of Six more princes, always maintaining his position. In April 2011, Brian's behavior begins to change after an encounter with a being from another existence to which he lost his personal ghouls. His mind reshaped, he becomes less the happy housekeeper and more the merry malcontent. When the neocarthraganian threat struck the area, Brian was oddly silent, refusing to take a firm stand against the casino downtown, raising questions as to his loyalty. Further questions were raised when, in September 2011 he disobeyed orders from the prince and following the lead of a younger kindred who said she had been sent on a mission by Prince Anya to bring a message to the Whore of Babylon inside the casino, set about trying to gain entrance to the casino by distracting the guards, which lead to a firefight at the entrance gate. Sneaking past during the ensuing chaos, Brian was attempting to gain entry to the security shed to destroy the evidence when he was shot by a military assault team emerging from inside the casino. What he did not know at the time, was that this botched the entire operation which was being planned for that evening by the rest of the court to destroy the temple. When he returned to the court that evening, he took his punishment without protest, admitting to his extremely poor judgement, and lack of diligence in investigating the story of the neonate. He was stripped of his Diligent status for this scandal and for his disobedience. The neonate for her part, admitted to duping Brian, and proceeded to mouth off to the rest of the court, nearly getting herself killed. Brian spent the next month keeping to himself in his lab so he would not get in further trouble. In October, the assault on the temple occurred, and Brian, done up in clown makeup and carrying several balloons he claimed were filled with a paralytic gas joined the fray, helping to clear out mortal bystanders. The ritual was stopped, but the Whore got away. The next month was the yearly Northeast Event, which he had to not only keep an eye on the Camarillans and Anarchs, but also the Sabbat who showed up as well, as part of the truce.

His father was an Air Force veteran, his mother a homemaker and amateur artist. He spent his childhood and adolescence in Braintree, before going off to college. In 1998, he moved to Springfield, MA where he participated in the local art scene. After a few failed shows, he finally got a good gig for his series &quot;Funny Faces&quot; in 2000, where he met his sire, and was promptly embraced by her that very night of the show's opening. After that he spent a few years in Springfield, til in 2006, he decided to move to the nearby Camarillan domain of Hartford, realizing that structure was what he was missing in his unlife among the chaos of the Anarch movement. He was acknowledged by Prince Chekov, and made a few attempts at showing off his art, which were met with limited success. Shortly thereafter during the raids from New Haven Sabbat, Brian was attacked and sent into torpor. He woke up in early 2008 a changed being, and made his way back to the court, suffering a bad case of amnesia. Brian's works begin to earn him notoriety in the court, and his portraits of the Prince are highly praised. He develops a very close relationship with the princes of Hartford from this point on, and in November 2008, he is appointed the Keeper of Elysium by reigning Prince Stast. Brian takes to his duties with great fervor, creating new works of art, beefing up security at the major Elysia, developing media and bureaucratic contacts to cover up breaches of the masquerade, and studying intensely. He goes through the reign of Six more princes, always maintaining his position. In April 2011, Brian's behavior begins to change after an encounter with a being from another existence to which he lost his personal ghouls. His mind reshaped, he becomes less the happy housekeeper and more the merry malcontent. When the neocarthraganian threat struck the area, Brian was oddly silent, refusing to take a firm stand against the casino downtown, raising questions as to his loyalty. Further questions were raised when, in September 2011 he disobeyed orders from the prince and following the lead of a younger kindred who said she had been sent on a mission by Prince Anya to bring a message to the Whore of Babylon inside the casino, set about trying to gain entrance to the casino by distracting the guards, which lead to a firefight at the entrance gate. Sneaking past during the ensuing chaos, Brian was attempting to gain entry to the security shed to destroy the evidence when he was shot by a military assault team emerging from inside the casino. What he did not know at the time, was that this botched the entire operation which was being planned for that evening by the rest of the court to destroy the temple. When he returned to the court that evening, he took his punishment without protest, admitting to his extremely poor judgement, and lack of diligence in investigating the story of the neonate. He was stripped of his Diligent status for this scandal and for his disobedience. The neonate for her part, admitted to duping Brian, and proceeded to mouth off to the rest of the court, nearly getting herself killed. Brian spent the next month keeping to himself in his lab so he would not get in further trouble. In October, the assault on the temple occurred, and Brian, done up in clown makeup and carrying several balloons he claimed were filled with a paralytic gas joined the fray, helping to clear out mortal bystanders. The ritual was stopped, but the Whore got away. The next month was the yearly Northeast Event, which he had to not only keep an eye on the Camarillans and Anarchs, but also the Sabbat who showed up as well, as part of the truce. Brian found the affair rather boring, and kept leaving, missing the entire combat encounter which occurred inside the Elysium between the whore and the combined forces of the Camarilla, Anarchs and Sabbat, causing many breaches of the Elysium, none of which he could have seen. At the end of the gathering, he was asked to pass judgement on the evening's events, as far as the Elysium was concerned, and dredging up an old piece of lore about his position, made the hasty decision to say that &quot;during times of great danger to the domain and Elysium, the keeper can choose to temporarily suspend the Elysium to allow for a threat to be dealt with.&quot; This was unwise, and he should have taken time to think about his decision. This decision made many people angry, and weakened his reputation further. Deciding to run, he packed everything and left the city in a hurry, heading back up to Massachusetts. He was stopped near Worcester and forced to head back to Springfield, which he found practically deserted. He headed then to Westchester where he sought asylum from the Prince, which was denied, stating that they thought he should take some more time, calm down, and think about what he needed to do, instead of acting out of fear. He returned to Hartford the next month, and found that the Prince was missing, or away, and was asked to stay on as Keeper for the time being until he could talk with the prince. He was later approached by [[Tobias Ashford]] and asked to attend a meeting, where he was tasked with tracking down and destroying the being known as Stitches, along with a group of 5 Anarchs. Being the most familiar with the problem and the most charismatic of the group, he became the defacto leader. The Anarchs took him back to their base of operations where he was greeted with Hostility from some of their more aggressive members, but managed to avoid being mauled. He has reclaimed his havens, having not missed a month's rent, and is currently still operating in Hartford. He went back to Westchester this past week and thanked the Prince for his advice, letting him know he would no longer require asylum. While there, he was approached by members of the Mafia to perform a task for them involving property destruction. No story has been seen in any newspapers regarding an incident like this. Brian recently resigned the office of the Keeper of Elysium in Hartford.<br /> <br /> Five years Later<br /> <br /> Brian resurfaced from his lab in 2016, greatly enlightened. He was quickly made Primogen of Clan Malkavian in Hartford, a position for which there would soon be a need. A new Malkavian Prince emerged in nearby New Britain, and then everything went crazy.<br /> <br /> Nick Clemente<br /> <br /> In October 2016 a freshly made Malkavian Neonate came stumbling into Hartford, having learned about us on the internet. He was placed under Brian's accounting, and Brian did his best to teach the young Malkavian what he understood about the ins and outs of polite Kindred society. In some ways, he appears to have done exceedingly well, in others, terribly poorly. Nick burns bright and fast, gaining status outstripping his 'sire' within a year's time. Brian is very proud of him, he has said. Somehow, all the intrigues surrounding Biltmore and Quentin King seem to focus on Nick when they seek an outlet, and Brian tries to put the pieces of a larger picture together than even Nick's puzzle obsession may be capable of seeing.<br /> <br /> Giga Girl / BB Girl<br /> <br /> Brian recently recovered the BB Girl project, a sentient AI trapped in a robot shell he'd sold to a Toreador. He believes he must teach her the meaning of love. Some people told Brian that love is a warm gun. Others (women) tried to get through his (male) skull that that wasn't right at all. <br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> <br /> What the hell am I even doing here anymore? Every problem seems to require magic these days. Brian makes little progress on his experiments. Things used to be so much easier. He feels like he's hit a glass ceiling.<br /> <br /> ==Coterie==<br /> Brian has managed to gain a degree of leadership over a pack of Anarchs. He was very close to The Prince and Seneschal, and other city officials, as well as friendly with the Nosferatu Prince of Westchester [[Edmond Dantes]]. This has all changed recently. Brian is now persona non-gratia among many of the city's officials since resigning his post and being publicly humiliated for his sins.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> <br /> Not sure who Brian could call an ally anymore, other than his surrogate childe Nick.<br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> <br /> They've all moved to Boston. Brian followed because it used to be his home when he was alive, and it's a city that seems to respect intelligence. <br /> Brian has been invited to coterie with some of the other longstanding primogen and officers of the court of Boston. Members include Primogen [[Chasyn Gentry]], [[Penelope Vanderbilt]], [[Jupiter Avalon]], and [[Shae Swyft]].<br /> <br /> ==Allies==<br /> Brian has some connections to the Hartford Arts Council, and maintains membership on their board. The director is a close friend and ally in Brian's struggle to bring Hartford the cultural clout it deserves. Brian's new connections with Comedy Central are proving very beneficial to the region, causing the creation of about 50 new jobs in entertainment in the area. These people love him, and owe their livelihood to him. He treats them with the respect and courtesy they deserve, and he does what he can to foster their dreams working in entertainment.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> The show has run it's course, but he's gotten some fame out of it.

He has a professional rivalry with Toreador Primogen James Norton, whom he has fallen out of favor with due to his recent inaction on the breaches of the Elysium that occured at the Northeast Event. Brian has since resigned his post as Keeper of Elysium.<br /> <br /> Brian made a lot of people angry by disobeying Prince Anya's edict not to go near the Whore's temple casino, resulting in months of planning, boons, favors and money to all go down the drain according to the Prince. He is in big trouble with the Prince and all of clan Assamite, as well as his own Primogen.<br /> <br /> Brian also dislikes the WWE, claiming it's not real entertainment, just mindless fans of violence, testosterone junkies, and poorly scripted matches that a child should be able to decipher.

His father was an Air Force veteran, his mother a homemaker and amateur artist. He spent his childhood and adolescence in Braintree, before going off to college. In 1998, he moved to Springfield, MA where he participated in the local art scene. After a few failed shows, he finally got a good gig for his series &quot;Funny Faces&quot; in 2000, where he met his sire, and was promptly embraced by her that very night of the show's opening. After that he spent a few years in Springfield, til in 2006, he decided to move to the nearby Camarillan domain of Hartford, realizing that structure was what he was missing in his unlife among the chaos of the Anarch movement. He was acknowledged by Prince Chekov, and made a few attempts at showing off his art, which were met with limited success. Shortly thereafter during the raids from New Haven Sabbat, Brian was attacked and sent into torpor. He woke up in early 2008 a changed being, and made his way back to the court, suffering a bad case of amnesia. Brian's works begin to earn him notoriety in the court, and his portraits of the Prince are highly praised. He develops a very close relationship with the princes of Hartford from this point on, and in November 2008, he is appointed the Keeper of Elysium by reigning Prince Stast. Brian takes to his duties with great fervor, creating new works of art, beefing up security at the major Elysia, developing media and bureaucratic contacts to cover up breaches of the masquerade, and studying intensely. He goes through the reign of Six more princes, always maintaining his position. In April 2011, Brian's behavior begins to change after an encounter with a being from another existence to which he lost his personal ghouls. His mind reshaped, he becomes less the happy housekeeper and more the merry malcontent. When the neocarthraganian threat struck the area, Brian was oddly silent, refusing to take a firm stand against the casino downtown, raising questions as to his loyalty. Further questions were raised when, in September 2011 he disobeyed orders from the prince and following the lead of a younger kindred who said she had been sent on a mission by Prince Anya to bring a message to the Whore of Babylon inside the casino, set about trying to gain entrance to the casino by distracting the guards, which lead to a firefight at the entrance gate. Sneaking past during the ensuing chaos, Brian was attempting to gain entry to the security shed to destroy the evidence when he was shot by a military assault team emerging from inside the casino. What he did not know at the time, was that this botched the entire operation which was being planned for that evening by the rest of the court to destroy the temple. When he returned to the court that evening, he took his punishment without protest, admitting to his extremely poor judgement, and lack of diligence in investigating the story of the neonate. He was stripped of his Diligent status for this scandal and for his disobedience. The neonate for her part, admitted to duping Brian, and proceeded to mouth off to the rest of the court, nearly getting herself killed. Brian spent the next month keeping to himself in his lab so he would not get in further trouble. In October, the assault on the temple occurred, and Brian, done up in clown makeup and carrying several balloons he claimed were filled with a paralytic gas joined the fray, helping to clear out mortal bystanders. The ritual was stopped, but the Whore got away. The next month was the yearly Northeast Event, which he had to not only keep an eye on the Camarillans and Anarchs, but also the Sabbat who showed up as well, as part of the truce. Brian found the affair rather boring, and kept leaving, missing the entire combat encounter which occurred inside the Elysium between the whore and the combined forces of the Camarilla, Anarchs and Sabbat, causing many breaches of the Elysium, none of which he could have seen. At the end of the gathering, he was asked to pass judgement on the evening's events, as far as the Elysium was concerned, and dredging up an old piece of lore about his position, made the hasty decision to say that &quot;during times of great danger to the domain and Elysium, the keeper can choose to temporarily suspend the Elysium to allow for a threat to be dealt with.&quot; This was unwise, and he should have taken time to think about his decision. This decision made many people angry, and weakened his reputation further. Deciding to run, he packed everything and left the city in a hurry, heading back up to Massachusetts. He was stopped near Worcester and forced to head back to Springfield, which he found practically deserted. He headed then to Westchester where he sought asylum from the Prince, which was denied, stating that they thought he should take some more time, calm down, and think about what he needed to do, instead of acting out of fear. He returned to Hartford the next month, and found that the Prince was missing, or away, and was asked to stay on as Keeper for the time being until he could talk with the prince. He was later approached by [[Tobias Ashford]] and asked to attend a meeting, where he was tasked with tracking down and destroying the being known as Stitches, along with a group of 5 Anarchs. Being the most familiar with the problem and the most charismatic of the group, he became the defacto leader. The Anarchs took him back to their base of operations where he was greeted with Hostility from some of their more aggressive members, but managed to avoid being mauled. He has reclaimed his havens, having not missed a month's rent, and is currently still operating in Hartford. He went back to Westchester this past week and thanked the Prince for his advice, letting him know he would no longer require asylum. While there, he was approached by members of the Mafia to perform a task for them involving property destruction. No story has been seen in any newspapers regarding an incident like this. Brian recently resigned the office of the Keeper of Elysium in Hartford.<br /> <br /> Five years Later<br /> <br /> Brian resurfaced from his lab in 2016, greatly enlightened. He was quickly made Primogen of Clan Malkavian in Hartford, a position for which there would soon be a need. A new Malkavian Prince emerged in nearby New Britain, and then everything went crazy.<br /> <br /> Nick Clemente<br /> <br /> In October 2016 a freshly made Malkavian Neonate came stumbling into Hartford, having learned about us on the internet. He was placed under Brian's accounting, and Brian did his best to teach the young Malkavian what he understood about the ins and outs of polite Kindred society. In some ways, he appears to have done exceedingly well, in others, terribly poorly. Nick burns bright and fast, gaining status outstripping his 'sire' within a year's time. Brian is very proud of him, he has said. Somehow, all the intrigues surrounding Biltmore and Quentin King seem to focus on Nick when they seek an outlet, and Brian tries to put the pieces of a larger picture together than even Nick's puzzle obsession may be capable of seeing.<br /> <br /> Giga Girl / BB Girl<br /> <br /> Brian recently recovered the BB Girl project, a sentient AI trapped in a robot shell he'd sold to a Toreador. He believes he must teach her the meaning of love. Some people told Brian that love is a warm gun. Others (women) tried to get through his (male) skull that that wasn't right at all. <br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> <br /> What the hell am I even doing here anymore? Every problem seems to require magic these days. Brian makes little progress on his experiments. Things used to be so much easier. He feels like he's hit a glass ceiling.<br /> <br /> ==Coterie==<br /> Brian has managed to gain a degree of leadership over a pack of Anarchs. He was very close to The Prince and Seneschal, and other city officials, as well as friendly with the Nosferatu Prince of Westchester [[Edmond Dantes]]. This has all changed recently. Brian is now persona non-gratia among many of the city's officials since resigning his post and being publicly humiliated for his sins.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> <br /> Not sure who Brian could call an ally anymore, other than his surrogate childe Nick.<br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> <br /> They've all moved to Boston. Brian followed because it used to be his home when he was alive, and it's a city that seems to respect intelligence. <br /> Brian has been invited to coterie with some of the other longstanding primogen and officers of the court of Boston. Members include Primogen [[Chasyn Gentry]], [[Penelope Vanderbilt]], [[Jupiter Avalon]], and [[Shae Swyft]].<br /> <br /> ==Allies==<br /> Brian has some connections to the Hartford Arts Council, and maintains membership on their board. The director is a close friend and ally in Brian's struggle to bring Hartford the cultural clout it deserves. Brian's new connections with Comedy Central are proving very beneficial to the region, causing the creation of about 50 new jobs in entertainment in the area. These people love him, and owe their livelihood to him. He treats them with the respect and courtesy they deserve, and he does what he can to foster their dreams working in entertainment.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> The show has run it's course, but he's gotten some fame out of it. He's started branching into the financial and military sectors.<br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> He's had to move his entire operation to Boston. Luckily, he was still remembered here from his mortal days, and using some of his Family's connections, he was able to reestablish himself quickly in Boston. <br /> <br /> ==Enemies==<br /> He's such a nice guy, and he really doesn't step on many toes, but He's begun to stumble in his sanity and his position as Keeper of the Elysium, with his spectacular failure at the Northeast Event, nullifying the Elysium temporarily under an arcane rule instead of stripping the prince and several other Camarillans of their standing in the sect, and losing face in front of the entire gathered crowd, Sabbat and Anarchs among them. He has a professional rivalry with Toreador Primogen James Norton, whom he has fallen out of favor with due to his recent inaction on the breaches of the Elysium that occured at the Northeast Event. Brian has since resigned his post as Keeper of Elysium.<br /> <br /> Brian made a lot of people angry by disobeying Prince Anya's edict not to go near the Whore's temple casino, resulting in months of planning, boons, favors and money to all go down the drain according to the Prince. He is in big trouble with the Prince and all of clan Assamite, as well as his own Primogen.<br /> <br /> Brian also dislikes the WWE, claiming it's not real entertainment, just mindless fans of violence, testosterone junkies, and poorly scripted matches that a child should be able to decipher. He uses every opportunity in his cartoons to lay the smackdown on World Wrestling Entertainment. There are rumors he helped fund Chris Murphy to defeat Linda McMahon in the recent election.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> <br /> No one remembers that stuff anymore. Funny how few people stick around any length of time. <br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> None of that is even relevant anymore. That was all in Connecticut.<br /> 'Monsters' of the week include the Neo-Anda (numbering 100-300, a ridiculous number), <br /> <br /> ==Sire==<br /> Stephanie Rider, an Anarch Malkavian from Springfield. Not Stephanie Ryder the Gangrel Porn Star. She is missing, but presumed still undead.<br /> <br /> Update - This is now a fact up for debate. It turns out there never was a Stephanie Rider. This appears to be a false memory.<br /> <br /> ==Childer==<br /> Brian has no childer he knows of, and no current want for any more headaches. <br /> <br /> Two ghouls are enough trouble. - Note, His two original ghouls were killed under mysterious circumstances. He had been seen recently with the infamous womanizer &quot;Arturo 'Mr. Fandango' Calivari&quot;, but it appears that Brian has abandoned Arturo. He has been seen wandering around the tri state area with a new ghoul. There are rumors that the ghoul is a criminal who wronged Brian seriously in the past, and this is his punishment to the pitiful creature.<br /> <br /> Brian has begun to show off some of the larger robots he's built, with combat capabilities.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> Brian still hasn't sired, but he's had one successful surrogate under the accounting, and has a second one who is flighty. Additionally, his sentient Robot BB Girl has come home and is being reworked into a sort of... childe.<br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> Brian is lonely. Maybe he should sire?<br /> <br /> ==Broodmates==<br /> Unknown. He lost touch with his sire, and never got to know if he has any other vampiric siblings.<br /> <br /> ==Character Inspirations==<br /> *Salvador Dali<br /> *Dr. Steel<br /> *Nikola Tesla<br /> *Vincent Van Gogh<br /> *Matt Stone<br /> *Adam Savage<br /> *Doctor Frankenstien<br /> *Doctor Light<br /> <br /> ==Soundtrack==<br /> *&quot;Where is my mind?&quot;<br /> *&quot;I am the Walrus&quot;<br /> *&quot;The Man Who Sold The World&quot;<br /> *&quot;Lament for a Toy Factory&quot;<br /> *&quot;Build the Robots&quot;<br /> *&quot;I Can Make You A Man&quot;*<br /> <br /> ==Quotes==<br /> &quot;Don't quote me.&quot;<br /> <br /> ==Rumors==<br /> *Brian was an Anarch<br /> *I heard him talking about sex robots.<br /> Five Years Later<br /> *He is the white castle.<br /> Seven Years After That<br /> *He's created robots of all the members of the domain in order to replace them<br /> *He's working on something new involving clones<br /> *Was around at the beginning of the universe<br /> *Will be the one to put the chairs on the tables and turns out the lights, and lock up the universe<br /> *Was touched by an angel<br /> *Is a favorite plaything of some god<br /> *Claims to have never killed anyone<br /> *Is secretly behind the recent surge in AI advancement<br /> *Is hosting a party in January, 2024 at the Science Museum in Boston.

His pale skin shows he rarely saw the sun, even in life, though there's still a faint blush of health to him. The skin of his body is lightly scarred and pockmarked from decades of scratching, itching, and picking at the parasites he is sure writhe inside of him.

Though no one could determine who had actually Embraced Nick, he was placed under Accounting and adopted into the Hartford Domain. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;After just a few months, Prince Quentin King III of New Britain Acknowledged the young neonate as a political middle finger to Hartford's Prince Gold. Since then, Nick has been endeavoring his best to help the Domain where he can. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; During the Hartford, CT, Conclave in late 2017, Nick was ordered to serve in place of an attending Archon to see to the needs of Justicar Maris Streck. The neonate's performance in attending to her whims, as well as his defense of the Conclave from &quot;hackermancers&quot; and attempted assassins, earned the Justicar's favor; she later named him as one of her trusted Archons.<br /> <br /> ==Coterie==<br /> None<br /> <br /> ==Allies==<br /> [http://camarilla.owbn.net/index.php?title=Brian_Oswald_Buckley Brian Oswald Buckley], Malkavian Primogen of Hartford, CT &lt;br&gt; [http://camarilla.owbn.net/index.php?title=Danny Danny] &lt;br&gt; [http://camarilla.owbn.net/index.php?title=Ora_Primrose Ora Primrose], Tremere Primogen of Hartford, CT &lt;br&gt; [http://camarilla.owbn.net/index.php?title=Rosamund_Elise_Kingsley Rosamund Elise Kingsley], Harpy of Hartford, CT&lt;br&gt;[http://camarilla.owbn.net/index.php?title=Morgan_Harper Morgan Harper]&lt;br&gt;[http://camarilla.owbn.net/index.php?title=Che_Valiente Che Valiente], Brujah Archon<br /> <br /> ==Enemies==<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Sire==<br /> Nick has no idea.

His father was an Air Force veteran, his mother a homemaker and amateur artist. He spent his childhood and adolescence in Braintree, before going off to college. In 1998, he moved to Springfield, MA where he participated in the local art scene. After a few failed shows, he finally got a good gig for his series &quot;Funny Faces&quot; in 2000, where he met his sire, and was promptly embraced by her that very night of the show's opening. After that he spent a few years in Springfield, til in 2006, he decided to move to the nearby Camarillan domain of Hartford, realizing that structure was what he was missing in his unlife among the chaos of the Anarch movement. He was acknowledged by Prince Chekov, and made a few attempts at showing off his art, which were met with limited success. Shortly thereafter during the raids from New Haven Sabbat, Brian was attacked and sent into torpor. He woke up in early 2008 a changed being, and made his way back to the court, suffering a bad case of amnesia. Brian's works begin to earn him notoriety in the court, and his portraits of the Prince are highly praised. He develops a very close relationship with the princes of Hartford from this point on, and in November 2008, he is appointed the Keeper of Elysium by reigning Prince Stast. Brian takes to his duties with great fervor, creating new works of art, beefing up security at the major Elysia, developing media and bureaucratic contacts to cover up breaches of the masquerade, and studying intensely. He goes through the reign of Six more princes, always maintaining his position. In April 2011, Brian's behavior begins to change after an encounter with a being from another existence to which he lost his personal ghouls. His mind reshaped, he becomes less the happy housekeeper and more the merry malcontent. When the neocarthraganian threat struck the area, Brian was oddly silent, refusing to take a firm stand against the casino downtown, raising questions as to his loyalty. Further questions were raised when, in September 2011 he disobeyed orders from the prince and following the lead of a younger kindred who said she had been sent on a mission by Prince Anya to bring a message to the Whore of Babylon inside the casino, set about trying to gain entrance to the casino by distracting the guards, which lead to a firefight at the entrance gate. Sneaking past during the ensuing chaos, Brian was attempting to gain entry to the security shed to destroy the evidence when he was shot by a military assault team emerging from inside the casino. What he did not know at the time, was that this botched the entire operation which was being planned for that evening by the rest of the court to destroy the temple. When he returned to the court that evening, he took his punishment without protest, admitting to his extremely poor judgement, and lack of diligence in investigating the story of the neonate. He was stripped of his Diligent status for this scandal and for his disobedience. The neonate for her part, admitted to duping Brian, and proceeded to mouth off to the rest of the court, nearly getting herself killed. Brian spent the next month keeping to himself in his lab so he would not get in further trouble. In October, the assault on the temple occurred, and Brian, done up in clown makeup and carrying several balloons he claimed were filled with a paralytic gas joined the fray, helping to clear out mortal bystanders. The ritual was stopped, but the Whore got away. The next month was the yearly Northeast Event, which he had to not only keep an eye on the Camarillans and Anarchs, but also the Sabbat who showed up as well, as part of the truce. Brian found the affair rather boring, and kept leaving, missing the entire combat encounter which occurred inside the Elysium between the whore and the combined forces of the Camarilla, Anarchs and Sabbat, causing many breaches of the Elysium, none of which he could have seen. At the end of the gathering, he was asked to pass judgement on the evening's events, as far as the Elysium was concerned, and dredging up an old piece of lore about his position, made the hasty decision to say that &quot;during times of great danger to the domain and Elysium, the keeper can choose to temporarily suspend the Elysium to allow for a threat to be dealt with.&quot; This was unwise, and he should have taken time to think about his decision. This decision made many people angry, and weakened his reputation further. Deciding to run, he packed everything and left the city in a hurry, heading back up to Massachusetts. He was stopped near Worcester and forced to head back to Springfield, which he found practically deserted. He headed then to Westchester where he sought asylum from the Prince, which was denied, stating that they thought he should take some more time, calm down, and think about what he needed to do, instead of acting out of fear. He returned to Hartford the next month, and found that the Prince was missing, or away, and was asked to stay on as Keeper for the time being until he could talk with the prince. He was later approached by [[Tobias Ashford]] and asked to attend a meeting, where he was tasked with tracking down and destroying the being known as Stitches, along with a group of 5 Anarchs. Being the most familiar with the problem and the most charismatic of the group, he became the defacto leader. The Anarchs took him back to their base of operations where he was greeted with Hostility from some of their more aggressive members, but managed to avoid being mauled. He has reclaimed his havens, having not missed a month's rent, and is currently still operating in Hartford. He went back to Westchester this past week and thanked the Prince for his advice, letting him know he would no longer require asylum. While there, he was approached by members of the Mafia to perform a task for them involving property destruction. No story has been seen in any newspapers regarding an incident like this. Brian recently resigned the office of the Keeper of Elysium in Hartford.<br /> <br /> Five years Later<br /> <br /> Brian resurfaced from his lab in 2016, greatly enlightened. He was quickly made Primogen of Clan Malkavian in Hartford, a position for which there would soon be a need. A new Malkavian Prince emerged in nearby New Britain, and then everything went crazy.<br /> <br /> Nick Clemente<br /> <br /> In October 2016 a freshly made Malkavian Neonate came stumbling into Hartford, having learned about us on the internet. He was placed under Brian's accounting, and Brian did his best to teach the young Malkavian what he understood about the ins and outs of polite Kindred society. In some ways, he appears to have done exceedingly well, in others, terribly poorly. Nick burns bright and fast, gaining status outstripping his 'sire' within a year's time. Brian is very proud of him, he has said. Somehow, all the intrigues surrounding Biltmore and Quentin King seem to focus on Nick when they seek an outlet, and Brian tries to put the pieces of a larger picture together than even Nick's puzzle obsession may be capable of seeing.<br /> <br /> Giga Girl<br /> <br /> Brian recently recovered the BB Girl project, a sentient AI trapped in a robot shell he'd sold to a Toreador. He believes he must teach her the meaning of love. Some people told Brian that love is a warm gun. Others (women) tried to get through his (male) skull that that wasn't right at all. <br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> <br /> What the hell am I even doing here anymore? Every problem seems to require magic these days. Brian makes little progress on his experiments. Things used to be so much easier. He feels like he's hit a glass ceiling.<br /> <br /> ==Coterie==<br /> Brian has managed to gain a degree of leadership over a pack of Anarchs. He was very close to The Prince and Seneschal, and other city officials, as well as friendly with the Nosferatu Prince of Westchester [[Edmond Dantes]]. This has all changed recently. Brian is now persona non-gratia among many of the city's officials since resigning his post and being publicly humiliated for his sins.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> <br /> Not sure who Brian could call an ally anymore, other than his surrogate childe Nick.<br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> <br /> They've all moved to Boston. Brian followed because it used to be his home when he was alive, and it's a city that seems to respect intelligence. <br /> <br /> ==Allies==<br /> Brian has some connections to the Hartford Arts Council, and maintains membership on their board. The director is a close friend and ally in Brian's struggle to bring Hartford the cultural clout it deserves. Brian's new connections with Comedy Central are proving very beneficial to the region, causing the creation of about 50 new jobs in entertainment in the area. These people love him, and owe their livelihood to him. He treats them with the respect and courtesy they deserve, and he does what he can to foster their dreams working in entertainment.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> The show has run it's course, but he's gotten some fame out of it. He's started branching into the financial and military sectors.<br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> He's had to move his entire operation to Boston. Luckily, he was still remembered here from his mortal days, and using some of his Family's connections, he was able to reestablish himself quickly in Boston. <br /> <br /> ==Enemies==<br /> He's such a nice guy, and he really doesn't step on many toes, but He's begun to stumble in his sanity and his position as Keeper of the Elysium, with his spectacular failure at the Northeast Event, nullifying the Elysium temporarily under an arcane rule instead of stripping the prince and several other Camarillans of their standing in the sect, and losing face in front of the entire gathered crowd, Sabbat and Anarchs among them. He has a professional rivalry with Toreador Primogen James Norton, whom he has fallen out of favor with due to his recent inaction on the breaches of the Elysium that occured at the Northeast Event. Brian has since resigned his post as Keeper of Elysium.<br /> <br /> Brian made a lot of people angry by disobeying Prince Anya's edict not to go near the Whore's temple casino, resulting in months of planning, boons, favors and money to all go down the drain according to the Prince. He is in big trouble with the Prince and all of clan Assamite, as well as his own Primogen.<br /> <br /> Brian also dislikes the WWE, claiming it's not real entertainment, just mindless fans of violence, testosterone junkies, and poorly scripted matches that a child should be able to decipher. He uses every opportunity in his cartoons to lay the smackdown on World Wrestling Entertainment. There are rumors he helped fund Chris Murphy to defeat Linda McMahon in the recent election.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> <br /> No one remembers that stuff anymore. Funny how few people stick around any length of time. <br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> None of that is even relevant anymore. That was all in Connecticut.<br /> 'Monsters' of the week include the Neo-Anda (numbering 100-300, a ridiculous number), <br /> <br /> ==Sire==<br /> Stephanie Rider, an Anarch Malkavian from Springfield. Not Stephanie Ryder the Gangrel Porn Star. She is missing, but presumed still undead.<br /> <br /> Update - This is now a fact up for debate. It turns out there never was a Stephanie Rider. This appears to be a false memory.<br /> <br /> ==Childer==<br /> Brian has no childer he knows of, and no current want for any more headaches. <br /> <br /> Two ghouls are enough trouble. - Note, His two original ghouls were killed under mysterious circumstances. He had been seen recently with the infamous womanizer &quot;Arturo 'Mr. Fandango' Calivari&quot;, but it appears that Brian has abandoned Arturo. He has been seen wandering around the tri state area with a new ghoul. There are rumors that the ghoul is a criminal who wronged Brian seriously in the past, and this is his punishment to the pitiful creature.<br /> <br /> Brian has begun to show off some of the larger robots he's built, with combat capabilities.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> Brian still hasn't sired, but he's had one successful surrogate under the accounting, and has a second one who is flighty. Additionally, his sentient Robot BB Girl has come home and is being reworked into a sort of... childe.<br /> <br /> Seven Years After That<br /> Brian is lonely. Maybe he should sire?<br /> <br /> ==Broodmates==<br /> Unknown. He lost touch with his sire, and never got to know if he has any other vampiric siblings.<br /> <br /> ==Character Inspirations==<br /> *Salvador Dali<br /> *Dr. Steel<br /> *Nikola Tesla<br /> *Vincent Van Gogh<br /> *Matt Stone<br /> *Adam Savage<br /> *Doctor Frankenstien<br /> *Doctor Light<br /> <br /> ==Soundtrack==<br /> *&quot;Where is my mind?&quot;<br /> *&quot;I am the Walrus&quot;<br /> *&quot;The Man Who Sold The World&quot;<br /> *&quot;Lament for a Toy Factory&quot;<br /> *&quot;Build the Robots&quot;<br /> *&quot;I Can Make You A Man&quot;*<br /> <br /> ==Quotes==<br /> &quot;Don't quote me.&quot;<br /> <br /> ==Rumors==<br /> *Brian was an Anarch<br /> *I heard him talking about sex robots.<br /> Five Years Later<br /> *He is the white castle.<br /> Seven Years After That<br /> *He's created robots of all the members of the domain<br /> *He's working on something new involving clones.</div>

His father was an Air Force veteran, his mother a homemaker and amateur artist. He spent his childhood and adolescence in Braintree, before going off to college. In 1998, he moved to Springfield, MA where he participated in the local art scene. After a few failed shows, he finally got a good gig for his series &quot;Funny Faces&quot; in 2000, where he met his sire, and was promptly embraced by her that very night of the show's opening. After that he spent a few years in Springfield, til in 2006, he decided to move to the nearby Camarillan domain of Hartford, realizing that structure was what he was missing in his unlife among the chaos of the Anarch movement. He was acknowledged by Prince Chekov, and made a few attempts at showing off his art, which were met with limited success. Shortly thereafter during the raids from New Haven Sabbat, Brian was attacked and sent into torpor. He woke up in early 2008 a changed being, and made his way back to the court, suffering a bad case of amnesia. Brian's works begin to earn him notoriety in the court, and his portraits of the Prince are highly praised. He develops a very close relationship with the princes of Hartford from this point on, and in November 2008, he is appointed the Keeper of Elysium by reigning Prince Stast. Brian takes to his duties with great fervor, creating new works of art, beefing up security at the major Elysia, developing media and bureaucratic contacts to cover up breaches of the masquerade, and studying intensely. He goes through the reign of Six more princes, always maintaining his position. In April 2011, Brian's behavior begins to change after an encounter with a being from another existence to which he lost his personal ghouls. His mind reshaped, he becomes less the happy housekeeper and more the merry malcontent. When the neocarthraganian threat struck the area, Brian was oddly silent, refusing to take a firm stand against the casino downtown, raising questions as to his loyalty. Further questions were raised when, in September 2011 he disobeyed orders from the prince and following the lead of a younger kindred who said she had been sent on a mission by Prince Anya to bring a message to the Whore of Babylon inside the casino, set about trying to gain entrance to the casino by distracting the guards, which lead to a firefight at the entrance gate. Sneaking past during the ensuing chaos, Brian was attempting to gain entry to the security shed to destroy the evidence when he was shot by a military assault team emerging from inside the casino. What he did not know at the time, was that this botched the entire operation which was being planned for that evening by the rest of the court to destroy the temple. When he returned to the court that evening, he took his punishment without protest, admitting to his extremely poor judgement, and lack of diligence in investigating the story of the neonate. He was stripped of his Diligent status for this scandal and for his disobedience. The neonate for her part, admitted to duping Brian, and proceeded to mouth off to the rest of the court, nearly getting herself killed. Brian spent the next month keeping to himself in his lab so he would not get in further trouble. In October, the assault on the temple occurred, and Brian, done up in clown makeup and carrying several balloons he claimed were filled with a paralytic gas joined the fray, helping to clear out mortal bystanders. The ritual was stopped, but the Whore got away. The next month was the yearly Northeast Event, which he had to not only keep an eye on the Camarillans and Anarchs, but also the Sabbat who showed up as well, as part of the truce. Brian found the affair rather boring, and kept leaving, missing the entire combat encounter which occurred inside the Elysium between the whore and the combined forces of the Camarilla, Anarchs and Sabbat, causing many breaches of the Elysium, none of which he could have seen. At the end of the gathering, he was asked to pass judgement on the evening's events, as far as the Elysium was concerned, and dredging up an old piece of lore about his position, made the hasty decision to say that &quot;during times of great danger to the domain and Elysium, the keeper can choose to temporarily suspend the Elysium to allow for a threat to be dealt with.&quot; This was unwise, and he should have taken time to think about his decision. This decision made many people angry, and weakened his reputation further. Deciding to run, he packed everything and left the city in a hurry, heading back up to Massachusetts. He was stopped near Worcester and forced to head back to Springfield, which he found practically deserted. He headed then to Westchester where he sought asylum from the Prince, which was denied, stating that they thought he should take some more time, calm down, and think about what he needed to do, instead of acting out of fear. He returned to Hartford the next month, and found that the Prince was missing, or away, and was asked to stay on as Keeper for the time being until he could talk with the prince. He was later approached by [[Tobias Ashford]] and asked to attend a meeting, where he was tasked with tracking down and destroying the being known as Stitches, along with a group of 5 Anarchs. Being the most familiar with the problem and the most charismatic of the group, he became the defacto leader. The Anarchs took him back to their base of operations where he was greeted with Hostility from some of their more aggressive members, but managed to avoid being mauled. He has reclaimed his havens, having not missed a month's rent, and is currently still operating in Hartford. He went back to Westchester this past week and thanked the Prince for his advice, letting him know he would no longer require asylum. While there, he was approached by members of the Mafia to perform a task for them involving property destruction. No story has been seen in any newspapers regarding an incident like this. Brian recently resigned the office of the Keeper of Elysium in Hartford.<br /> <br /> Five years Later<br /> <br /> Brian resurfaced from his lab in 2016, greatly enlightened. He was quickly made Primogen of Clan Malkavian in Hartford, a position for which there would soon be a need. A new Malkavian Prince emerged in nearby New Britain, and then everything went crazy.<br /> <br /> Nick Clemente<br /> <br /> In October 2016 a freshly made Malkavian Neonate came stumbling into Hartford, having learned about us on the internet. He was placed under Brian's accounting, and Brian did his best to teach the young Malkavian what he understood about the ins and outs of polite Kindred society. In some ways, he appears to have done exceedingly well, in others, terribly poorly. Nick burns bright and fast, gaining status outstripping his 'sire' within a year's time. Brian is very proud of him, he has said. Somehow, all the intrigues surrounding Biltmore and Quentin King seem to focus on Nick when they seek an outlet, and Brian tries to put the pieces of a larger picture together than even Nick's puzzle obsession may be capable of seeing.<br /> <br /> Giga Girl<br /> <br /> Brian recently recovered the BB Girl project, a sentient AI trapped in a robot shell he'd sold to a Toreador. He believes he must teach her the meaning of love. Some people told Brian that love is a warm gun. Others (women) tried to get through his (male) skull that that wasn't right at all. <br /> <br /> ==Coterie==<br /> Brian has managed to gain a degree of leadership over a pack of Anarchs. He was very close to The Prince and Seneschal, and other city officials, as well as friendly with the Nosferatu Prince of Westchester [[Edmond Dantes]]. This has all changed recently. Brian is now persona non-gratia among many of the city's officials since resigning his post and being publicly humiliated for his sins.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> <br /> Not sure who Brian could call an ally anymore, other than his surrogate childe Nick.<br /> <br /> ==Allies==<br /> Brian has some connections to the Hartford Arts Council, and maintains membership on their board. The director is a close friend and ally in Brian's struggle to bring Hartford the cultural clout it deserves. Brian's new connections with Comedy Central are proving very beneficial to the region, causing the creation of about 50 new jobs in entertainment in the area. These people love him, and owe their livelihood to him. He treats them with the respect and courtesy they deserve, and he does what he can to foster their dreams working in entertainment.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> The show has run it's course, but he's gotten some fame out of it. He's started branching into the financial and military sectors.<br /> <br /> ==Enemies==<br /> He's such a nice guy, and he really doesn't step on many toes, but He's begun to stumble in his sanity and his position as Keeper of the Elysium, with his spectacular failure at the Northeast Event, nullifying the Elysium temporarily under an arcane rule instead of stripping the prince and several other Camarillans of their standing in the sect, and losing face in front of the entire gathered crowd, Sabbat and Anarchs among them. He has a professional rivalry with Toreador Primogen James Norton, whom he has fallen out of favor with due to his recent inaction on the breaches of the Elysium that occured at the Northeast Event. Brian has since resigned his post as Keeper of Elysium.<br /> <br /> Brian made a lot of people angry by disobeying Prince Anya's edict not to go near the Whore's temple casino, resulting in months of planning, boons, favors and money to all go down the drain according to the Prince. He is in big trouble with the Prince and all of clan Assamite, as well as his own Primogen.<br /> <br /> Brian also dislikes the WWE, claiming it's not real entertainment, just mindless fans of violence, testosterone junkies, and poorly scripted matches that a child should be able to decipher. He uses every opportunity in his cartoons to lay the smackdown on World Wrestling Entertainment. There are rumors he helped fund Chris Murphy to defeat Linda McMahon in the recent election.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> <br /> No one remembers that stuff anymore. Funny how few people stick around any length of time. <br /> <br /> ==Sire==<br /> Stephanie Rider, an Anarch Malkavian from Springfield. Not Stephanie Ryder the Gangrel Porn Star.

His father was an Air Force veteran, his mother a homemaker and amateur artist. He spent his childhood and adolescence in Braintree, before going off to college. In 1998, he moved to Springfield, MA where he participated in the local art scene. After a few failed shows, he finally got a good gig for his series &quot;Funny Faces&quot; in 2000, where he met his sire, and was promptly embraced by her that very night of the show's opening. After that he spent a few years in Springfield, til in 2006, he decided to move to the nearby Camarillan domain of Hartford, realizing that structure was what he was missing in his unlife among the chaos of the Anarch movement. He was acknowledged by Prince Chekov, and made a few attempts at showing off his art, which were met with limited success. Shortly thereafter during the raids from New Haven Sabbat, Brian was attacked and sent into torpor. He woke up in early 2008 a changed being, and made his way back to the court, suffering a bad case of amnesia. Brian's works begin to earn him notoriety in the court, and his portraits of the Prince are highly praised. He develops a very close relationship with the princes of Hartford from this point on, and in November 2008, he is appointed the Keeper of Elysium by reigning Prince Stast. Brian takes to his duties with great fervor, creating new works of art, beefing up security at the major Elysia, developing media and bureaucratic contacts to cover up breaches of the masquerade, and studying intensely. He goes through the reign of Six more princes, always maintaining his position. In April 2011, Brian's behavior begins to change after an encounter with a being from another existence to which he lost his personal ghouls. His mind reshaped, he becomes less the happy housekeeper and more the merry malcontent. When the neocarthraganian threat struck the area, Brian was oddly silent, refusing to take a firm stand against the casino downtown, raising questions as to his loyalty. Further questions were raised when, in September 2011 he disobeyed orders from the prince and following the lead of a younger kindred who said she had been sent on a mission by Prince Anya to bring a message to the Whore of Babylon inside the casino, set about trying to gain entrance to the casino by distracting the guards, which lead to a firefight at the entrance gate. Sneaking past during the ensuing chaos, Brian was attempting to gain entry to the security shed to destroy the evidence when he was shot by a military assault team emerging from inside the casino. What he did not know at the time, was that this botched the entire operation which was being planned for that evening by the rest of the court to destroy the temple. When he returned to the court that evening, he took his punishment without protest, admitting to his extremely poor judgement, and lack of diligence in investigating the story of the neonate. He was stripped of his Diligent status for this scandal and for his disobedience. The neonate for her part, admitted to duping Brian, and proceeded to mouth off to the rest of the court, nearly getting herself killed. Brian spent the next month keeping to himself in his lab so he would not get in further trouble. In October, the assault on the temple occurred, and Brian, done up in clown makeup and carrying several balloons he claimed were filled with a paralytic gas joined the fray, helping to clear out mortal bystanders. The ritual was stopped, but the Whore got away. The next month was the yearly Northeast Event, which he had to not only keep an eye on the Camarillans and Anarchs, but also the Sabbat who showed up as well, as part of the truce. Brian found the affair rather boring, and kept leaving, missing the entire combat encounter which occurred inside the Elysium between the whore and the combined forces of the Camarilla, Anarchs and Sabbat, causing many breaches of the Elysium, none of which he could have seen. At the end of the gathering, he was asked to pass judgement on the evening's events, as far as the Elysium was concerned, and dredging up an old piece of lore about his position, made the hasty decision to say that &quot;during times of great danger to the domain and Elysium, the keeper can choose to temporarily suspend the Elysium to allow for a threat to be dealt with.&quot; This was unwise, and he should have taken time to think about his decision. This decision made many people angry, and weakened his reputation further. Deciding to run, he packed everything and left the city in a hurry, heading back up to Massachusetts. He was stopped near Worcester and forced to head back to Springfield, which he found practically deserted. He headed then to Westchester where he sought asylum from the Prince, which was denied, stating that they thought he should take some more time, calm down, and think about what he needed to do, instead of acting out of fear. He returned to Hartford the next month, and found that the Prince was missing, or away, and was asked to stay on as Keeper for the time being until he could talk with the prince. He was later approached by [[Tobias Ashford]] and asked to attend a meeting, where he was tasked with tracking down and destroying the being known as Stitches, along with a group of 5 Anarchs. Being the most familiar with the problem and the most charismatic of the group, he became the defacto leader. The Anarchs took him back to their base of operations where he was greeted with Hostility from some of their more aggressive members, but managed to avoid being mauled. He has reclaimed his havens, having not missed a month's rent, and is currently still operating in Hartford. He went back to Westchester this past week and thanked the Prince for his advice, letting him know he would no longer require asylum. While there, he was approached by members of the Mafia to perform a task for them involving property destruction. No story has been seen in any newspapers regarding an incident like this. Brian recently resigned the office of the Keeper of Elysium in Hartford.<br /> <br /> Five years Later<br /> <br /> Brian resurfaced from his lab in 2016, greatly enlightened. He was quickly made Primogen of Clan Malkavian in Hartford, a position for which there would soon be a need. A new Malkavian Prince emerged in nearby New Britain, and then everything went crazy.<br /> <br /> Nick Clemente<br /> <br /> In October 2016 a freshly made Malkavian Neonate came stumbling into Hartford, having learned about us on the internet. He was placed under Brian's accounting, and Brian did his best to teach the young Malkavian what he understood about the ins and outs of polite Kindred society. In some ways, he appears to have done exceedingly well, in others, terribly poorly. Nick burns bright and fast, gaining status outstripping his 'sire' within a year's time. Brian is very proud of him, he has said. Somehow, all the intrigues surrounding Biltmore and Quentin King seem to focus on Nick when they seek an outlet, and Brian tries to put the pieces of a larger picture together than even Nick's puzzle obsession may be capable of seeing.<br /> <br /> Giga Girl<br /> <br /> Brian recently recovered the BB Girl project, a sentient AI trapped in a robot shell he'd sold to a Toreador. He believes he must teach her the meaning of love. Some people told Brian that love is a warm gun. Others (women) tried to get through his (male) skull that that wasn't right at all. <br /> <br /> ==Coterie==<br /> Brian has managed to gain a degree of leadership over a pack of Anarchs. He was very close to The Prince and Seneschal, and other city officials, as well as friendly with the Nosferatu Prince of Westchester [[Edmond Dantes]]. This has all changed recently. Brian is now persona non-gratia among many of the city's officials since resigning his post and being publicly humiliated for his sins.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> <br /> Not sure who Brian could call an ally anymore, other than his surrogate childe Nick.<br /> <br /> ==Allies==<br /> Brian has some connections to the Hartford Arts Council, and maintains membership on their board. The director is a close friend and ally in Brian's struggle to bring Hartford the cultural clout it deserves. Brian's new connections with Comedy Central are proving very beneficial to the region, causing the creation of about 50 new jobs in entertainment in the area. These people love him, and owe their livelihood to him. He treats them with the respect and courtesy they deserve, and he does what he can to foster their dreams working in entertainment.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> The show has run it's course, but he's gotten some fame out of it. He's started branching into the financial and military sectors.<br /> <br /> ==Enemies==<br /> He's such a nice guy, and he really doesn't step on many toes, but He's begun to stumble in his sanity and his position as Keeper of the Elysium, with his spectacular failure at the Northeast Event, nullifying the Elysium temporarily under an arcane rule instead of stripping the prince and several other Camarillans of their standing in the sect, and losing face in front of the entire gathered crowd, Sabbat and Anarchs among them. He has a professional rivalry with Toreador Primogen James Norton, whom he has fallen out of favor with due to his recent inaction on the breaches of the Elysium that occured at the Northeast Event. Brian has since resigned his post as Keeper of Elysium.<br /> <br /> Brian made a lot of people angry by disobeying Prince Anya's edict not to go near the Whore's temple casino, resulting in months of planning, boons, favors and money to all go down the drain according to the Prince. He is in big trouble with the Prince and all of clan Assamite, as well as his own Primogen.<br /> <br /> Brian also dislikes the WWE, claiming it's not real entertainment, just mindless fans of violence, testosterone junkies, and poorly scripted matches that a child should be able to decipher. He uses every opportunity in his cartoons to lay the smackdown on World Wrestling Entertainment. There are rumors he helped fund Chris Murphy to defeat Linda McMahon in the recent election.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> <br /> No one remembers that stuff anymore. Funny how few people stick around any length of time. <br /> <br /> ==Sire==<br /> Stephanie Rider, an Anarch Malkavian from Springfield. Not Stephanie Ryder the Gangrel Porn Star. She is missing, but presumed still undead.<br /> <br /> ==Childer==<br /> Brian has no childer he knows of, and no current want for any more headaches. <br /> <br /> Two ghouls are enough trouble. - Note, His two original ghouls were killed under mysterious circumstances. He had been seen recently with the infamous womanizer &quot;Arturo 'Mr. Fandango' Calivari&quot;, but it appears that Brian has abandoned Arturo.

His father was an Air Force veteran, his mother a homemaker and amateur artist. He spent his childhood and adolescence in Braintree, before going off to college. In 1998, he moved to Springfield, MA where he participated in the local art scene. After a few failed shows, he finally got a good gig for his series &quot;Funny Faces&quot; in 2000, where he met his sire, and was promptly embraced by her that very night of the show's opening. After that he spent a few years in Springfield, til in 2006, he decided to move to the nearby Camarillan domain of Hartford, realizing that structure was what he was missing in his unlife among the chaos of the Anarch movement. He was acknowledged by Prince Chekov, and made a few attempts at showing off his art, which were met with limited success. Shortly thereafter during the raids from New Haven Sabbat, Brian was attacked and sent into torpor. He woke up in early 2008 a changed being, and made his way back to the court, suffering a bad case of amnesia. Brian's works begin to earn him notoriety in the court, and his portraits of the Prince are highly praised. He develops a very close relationship with the princes of Hartford from this point on, and in November 2008, he is appointed the Keeper of Elysium by reigning Prince Stast. Brian takes to his duties with great fervor, creating new works of art, beefing up security at the major Elysia, developing media and bureaucratic contacts to cover up breaches of the masquerade, and studying intensely. He goes through the reign of Six more princes, always maintaining his position. In April 2011, Brian's behavior begins to change after an encounter with a being from another existence to which he lost his personal ghouls. His mind reshaped, he becomes less the happy housekeeper and more the merry malcontent. When the neocarthraganian threat struck the area, Brian was oddly silent, refusing to take a firm stand against the casino downtown, raising questions as to his loyalty. Further questions were raised when, in September 2011 he disobeyed orders from the prince and following the lead of a younger kindred who said she had been sent on a mission by Prince Anya to bring a message to the Whore of Babylon inside the casino, set about trying to gain entrance to the casino by distracting the guards, which lead to a firefight at the entrance gate. Sneaking past during the ensuing chaos, Brian was attempting to gain entry to the security shed to destroy the evidence when he was shot by a military assault team emerging from inside the casino. What he did not know at the time, was that this botched the entire operation which was being planned for that evening by the rest of the court to destroy the temple. When he returned to the court that evening, he took his punishment without protest, admitting to his extremely poor judgement, and lack of diligence in investigating the story of the neonate. He was stripped of his Diligent status for this scandal and for his disobedience. The neonate for her part, admitted to duping Brian, and proceeded to mouth off to the rest of the court, nearly getting herself killed. Brian spent the next month keeping to himself in his lab so he would not get in further trouble. In October, the assault on the temple occurred, and Brian, done up in clown makeup and carrying several balloons he claimed were filled with a paralytic gas joined the fray, helping to clear out mortal bystanders. The ritual was stopped, but the Whore got away. The next month was the yearly Northeast Event, which he had to not only keep an eye on the Camarillans and Anarchs, but also the Sabbat who showed up as well, as part of the truce. Brian found the affair rather boring, and kept leaving, missing the entire combat encounter which occurred inside the Elysium between the whore and the combined forces of the Camarilla, Anarchs and Sabbat, causing many breaches of the Elysium, none of which he could have seen. At the end of the gathering, he was asked to pass judgement on the evening's events, as far as the Elysium was concerned, and dredging up an old piece of lore about his position, made the hasty decision to say that &quot;during times of great danger to the domain and Elysium, the keeper can choose to temporarily suspend the Elysium to allow for a threat to be dealt with.&quot; This was unwise, and he should have taken time to think about his decision. This decision made many people angry, and weakened his reputation further. Deciding to run, he packed everything and left the city in a hurry, heading back up to Massachusetts. He was stopped near Worcester and forced to head back to Springfield, which he found practically deserted. He headed then to Westchester where he sought asylum from the Prince, which was denied, stating that they thought he should take some more time, calm down, and think about what he needed to do, instead of acting out of fear. He returned to Hartford the next month, and found that the Prince was missing, or away, and was asked to stay on as Keeper for the time being until he could talk with the prince. He was later approached by [[Tobias Ashford]] and asked to attend a meeting, where he was tasked with tracking down and destroying the being known as Stitches, along with a group of 5 Anarchs. Being the most familiar with the problem and the most charismatic of the group, he became the defacto leader. The Anarchs took him back to their base of operations where he was greeted with Hostility from some of their more aggressive members, but managed to avoid being mauled. He has reclaimed his havens, having not missed a month's rent, and is currently still operating in Hartford. He went back to Westchester this past week and thanked the Prince for his advice, letting him know he would no longer require asylum. While there, he was approached by members of the Mafia to perform a task for them involving property destruction. No story has been seen in any newspapers regarding an incident like this. Brian recently resigned the office of the Keeper of Elysium in Hartford.<br /> <br /> Five years Later<br /> <br /> Brian resurfaced from his lab in 2016, greatly enlightened. He was quickly made Primogen of Clan Malkavian in Hartford, a position for which there would soon be a need. A new Malkavian Prince emerged in nearby New Britain, and then everything went crazy.<br /> <br /> Nick Clemente<br /> <br /> In October 2016 a freshly made Malkavian Neonate came stumbling into Hartford, having learned about us on the internet. He was placed under Brian's accounting, and Brian did his best to teach the young Malkavian what he understood about the ins and outs of polite Kindred society. In some ways, he appears to have done exceedingly well, in others, terribly poorly. Nick burns bright and fast, gaining status outstripping his 'sire' within a year's time. Brian is very proud of him, he has said. Somehow, all the intrigues surrounding Biltmore and Quentin King seem to focus on Nick when they seek an outlet, and Brian tries to put the pieces of a larger picture together than even Nick's puzzle obsession may be capable of seeing.<br /> <br /> Giga Girl<br /> <br /> Brian recently recovered the BB Girl project, a sentient AI trapped in a robot shell he'd sold to a Toreador. He believes he must teach her the meaning of love. Some people told Brian that love is a warm gun. Others (women) tried to get through his (male) skull that that wasn't right at all. <br /> <br /> ==Coterie==<br /> Brian has managed to gain a degree of leadership over a pack of Anarchs. He was very close to The Prince and Seneschal, and other city officials, as well as friendly with the Nosferatu Prince of Westchester [[Edmond Dantes]]. This has all changed recently. Brian is now persona non-gratia among many of the city's officials since resigning his post and being publicly humiliated for his sins.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> <br /> Not sure who Brian could call an ally anymore, other than his surrogate childe Nick.<br /> <br /> ==Allies==<br /> Brian has some connections to the Hartford Arts Council, and maintains membership on their board. The director is a close friend and ally in Brian's struggle to bring Hartford the cultural clout it deserves. Brian's new connections with Comedy Central are proving very beneficial to the region, causing the creation of about 50 new jobs in entertainment in the area. These people love him, and owe their livelihood to him. He treats them with the respect and courtesy they deserve, and he does what he can to foster their dreams working in entertainment.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> The show has run it's course, but he's gotten some fame out of it. He's started branching into the financial and military sectors.<br /> <br /> ==Enemies==<br /> He's such a nice guy, and he really doesn't step on many toes, but He's begun to stumble in his sanity and his position as Keeper of the Elysium, with his spectacular failure at the Northeast Event, nullifying the Elysium temporarily under an arcane rule instead of stripping the prince and several other Camarillans of their standing in the sect, and losing face in front of the entire gathered crowd, Sabbat and Anarchs among them. He has a professional rivalry with Toreador Primogen James Norton, whom he has fallen out of favor with due to his recent inaction on the breaches of the Elysium that occured at the Northeast Event. Brian has since resigned his post as Keeper of Elysium.<br /> <br /> Brian made a lot of people angry by disobeying Prince Anya's edict not to go near the Whore's temple casino, resulting in months of planning, boons, favors and money to all go down the drain according to the Prince. He is in big trouble with the Prince and all of clan Assamite, as well as his own Primogen.<br /> <br /> Brian also dislikes the WWE, claiming it's not real entertainment, just mindless fans of violence, testosterone junkies, and poorly scripted matches that a child should be able to decipher. He uses every opportunity in his cartoons to lay the smackdown on World Wrestling Entertainment. There are rumors he helped fund Chris Murphy to defeat Linda McMahon in the recent election.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> <br /> No one remembers that stuff anymore. Funny how few people stick around any length of time. <br /> <br /> ==Sire==<br /> Stephanie Rider, an Anarch Malkavian from Springfield. Not Stephanie Ryder the Gangrel Porn Star. She is missing, but presumed still undead.<br /> <br /> ==Childer==<br /> Brian has no childer he knows of, and no current want for any more headaches. <br /> <br /> Two ghouls are enough trouble. - Note, His two original ghouls were killed under mysterious circumstances. He had been seen recently with the infamous womanizer &quot;Arturo 'Mr. Fandango' Calivari&quot;, but it appears that Brian has abandoned Arturo. He has been seen wandering around the tri state area with a new ghoul. There are rumors that the ghoul is a criminal who wronged Brian seriously in the past, and this is his punishment to the pitiful creature.<br /> <br /> Brian has begun to show off some of the larger robots he's built, with combat capabilities.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> <br /> Brian still hasn't sired, but he's had one successful surrogate under the accounting, and has a second one who is flighty.

His father was an Air Force veteran, his mother a homemaker and amateur artist. He spent his childhood and adolescence in Braintree, before going off to college. In 1998, he moved to Springfield, MA where he participated in the local art scene. After a few failed shows, he finally got a good gig for his series &quot;Funny Faces&quot; in 2000, where he met his sire, and was promptly embraced by her that very night of the show's opening. After that he spent a few years in Springfield, til in 2006, he decided to move to the nearby Camarillan domain of Hartford, realizing that structure was what he was missing in his unlife among the chaos of the Anarch movement. He was acknowledged by Prince Chekov, and made a few attempts at showing off his art, which were met with limited success. Shortly thereafter during the raids from New Haven Sabbat, Brian was attacked and sent into torpor. He woke up in early 2008 a changed being, and made his way back to the court, suffering a bad case of amnesia. Brian's works begin to earn him notoriety in the court, and his portraits of the Prince are highly praised. He develops a very close relationship with the princes of Hartford from this point on, and in November 2008, he is appointed the Keeper of Elysium by reigning Prince Stast. Brian takes to his duties with great fervor, creating new works of art, beefing up security at the major Elysia, developing media and bureaucratic contacts to cover up breaches of the masquerade, and studying intensely. He goes through the reign of Six more princes, always maintaining his position. In April 2011, Brian's behavior begins to change after an encounter with a being from another existence to which he lost his personal ghouls. His mind reshaped, he becomes less the happy housekeeper and more the merry malcontent. When the neocarthraganian threat struck the area, Brian was oddly silent, refusing to take a firm stand against the casino downtown, raising questions as to his loyalty. Further questions were raised when, in September 2011 he disobeyed orders from the prince and following the lead of a younger kindred who said she had been sent on a mission by Prince Anya to bring a message to the Whore of Babylon inside the casino, set about trying to gain entrance to the casino by distracting the guards, which lead to a firefight at the entrance gate. Sneaking past during the ensuing chaos, Brian was attempting to gain entry to the security shed to destroy the evidence when he was shot by a military assault team emerging from inside the casino. What he did not know at the time, was that this botched the entire operation which was being planned for that evening by the rest of the court to destroy the temple. When he returned to the court that evening, he took his punishment without protest, admitting to his extremely poor judgement, and lack of diligence in investigating the story of the neonate. He was stripped of his Diligent status for this scandal and for his disobedience. The neonate for her part, admitted to duping Brian, and proceeded to mouth off to the rest of the court, nearly getting herself killed. Brian spent the next month keeping to himself in his lab so he would not get in further trouble. In October, the assault on the temple occurred, and Brian, done up in clown makeup and carrying several balloons he claimed were filled with a paralytic gas joined the fray, helping to clear out mortal bystanders. The ritual was stopped, but the Whore got away. The next month was the yearly Northeast Event, which he had to not only keep an eye on the Camarillans and Anarchs, but also the Sabbat who showed up as well, as part of the truce. Brian found the affair rather boring, and kept leaving, missing the entire combat encounter which occurred inside the Elysium between the whore and the combined forces of the Camarilla, Anarchs and Sabbat, causing many breaches of the Elysium, none of which he could have seen. At the end of the gathering, he was asked to pass judgement on the evening's events, as far as the Elysium was concerned, and dredging up an old piece of lore about his position, made the hasty decision to say that &quot;during times of great danger to the domain and Elysium, the keeper can choose to temporarily suspend the Elysium to allow for a threat to be dealt with.&quot; This was unwise, and he should have taken time to think about his decision. This decision made many people angry, and weakened his reputation further. Deciding to run, he packed everything and left the city in a hurry, heading back up to Massachusetts. He was stopped near Worcester and forced to head back to Springfield, which he found practically deserted. He headed then to Westchester where he sought asylum from the Prince, which was denied, stating that they thought he should take some more time, calm down, and think about what he needed to do, instead of acting out of fear. He returned to Hartford the next month, and found that the Prince was missing, or away, and was asked to stay on as Keeper for the time being until he could talk with the prince. He was later approached by [[Tobias Ashford]] and asked to attend a meeting, where he was tasked with tracking down and destroying the being known as Stitches, along with a group of 5 Anarchs. Being the most familiar with the problem and the most charismatic of the group, he became the defacto leader. The Anarchs took him back to their base of operations where he was greeted with Hostility from some of their more aggressive members, but managed to avoid being mauled. He has reclaimed his havens, having not missed a month's rent, and is currently still operating in Hartford. He went back to Westchester this past week and thanked the Prince for his advice, letting him know he would no longer require asylum. While there, he was approached by members of the Mafia to perform a task for them involving property destruction. No story has been seen in any newspapers regarding an incident like this. Brian recently resigned the office of the Keeper of Elysium in Hartford.<br /> <br /> Five years Later<br /> <br /> Brian resurfaced from his lab in 2016, greatly enlightened. He was quickly made Primogen of Clan Malkavian in Hartford, a position for which there would soon be a need. A new Malkavian Prince emerged in nearby New Britain, and then everything went crazy.<br /> <br /> Nick Clemente<br /> <br /> In October 2016 a freshly made Malkavian Neonate came stumbling into Hartford, having learned about us on the internet. He was placed under Brian's accounting, and Brian did his best to teach the young Malkavian what he understood about the ins and outs of polite Kindred society. In some ways, he appears to have done exceedingly well, in others, terribly poorly. Nick burns bright and fast, gaining status outstripping his 'sire' within a year's time. Brian is very proud of him, he has said. Somehow, all the intrigues surrounding Biltmore and Quentin King seem to focus on Nick when they seek an outlet, and Brian tries to put the pieces of a larger picture together than even Nick's puzzle obsession may be capable of seeing.<br /> <br /> Giga Girl<br /> <br /> Brian recently recovered the BB Girl project, a sentient AI trapped in a robot shell he'd sold to a Toreador. He believes he must teach her the meaning of love. Some people told Brian that love is a warm gun. Others (women) tried to get through his (male) skull that that wasn't right at all. <br /> <br /> ==Coterie==<br /> Brian has managed to gain a degree of leadership over a pack of Anarchs. He was very close to The Prince and Seneschal, and other city officials, as well as friendly with the Nosferatu Prince of Westchester [[Edmond Dantes]]. This has all changed recently. Brian is now persona non-gratia among many of the city's officials since resigning his post and being publicly humiliated for his sins.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> <br /> Not sure who Brian could call an ally anymore, other than his surrogate childe Nick.<br /> <br /> ==Allies==<br /> Brian has some connections to the Hartford Arts Council, and maintains membership on their board. The director is a close friend and ally in Brian's struggle to bring Hartford the cultural clout it deserves. Brian's new connections with Comedy Central are proving very beneficial to the region, causing the creation of about 50 new jobs in entertainment in the area. These people love him, and owe their livelihood to him. He treats them with the respect and courtesy they deserve, and he does what he can to foster their dreams working in entertainment.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> The show has run it's course, but he's gotten some fame out of it. He's started branching into the financial and military sectors.<br /> <br /> ==Enemies==<br /> He's such a nice guy, and he really doesn't step on many toes, but He's begun to stumble in his sanity and his position as Keeper of the Elysium, with his spectacular failure at the Northeast Event, nullifying the Elysium temporarily under an arcane rule instead of stripping the prince and several other Camarillans of their standing in the sect, and losing face in front of the entire gathered crowd, Sabbat and Anarchs among them. He has a professional rivalry with Toreador Primogen James Norton, whom he has fallen out of favor with due to his recent inaction on the breaches of the Elysium that occured at the Northeast Event. Brian has since resigned his post as Keeper of Elysium.<br /> <br /> Brian made a lot of people angry by disobeying Prince Anya's edict not to go near the Whore's temple casino, resulting in months of planning, boons, favors and money to all go down the drain according to the Prince. He is in big trouble with the Prince and all of clan Assamite, as well as his own Primogen.<br /> <br /> Brian also dislikes the WWE, claiming it's not real entertainment, just mindless fans of violence, testosterone junkies, and poorly scripted matches that a child should be able to decipher. He uses every opportunity in his cartoons to lay the smackdown on World Wrestling Entertainment. There are rumors he helped fund Chris Murphy to defeat Linda McMahon in the recent election.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> <br /> No one remembers that stuff anymore.

His father was an Air Force veteran, his mother a homemaker and amateur artist. He spent his childhood and adolescence in Braintree, before going off to college. In 1998, he moved to Springfield, MA where he participated in the local art scene. After a few failed shows, he finally got a good gig for his series &quot;Funny Faces&quot; in 2000, where he met his sire, and was promptly embraced by her that very night of the show's opening. After that he spent a few years in Springfield, til in 2006, he decided to move to the nearby Camarillan domain of Hartford, realizing that structure was what he was missing in his unlife among the chaos of the Anarch movement. He was acknowledged by Prince Chekov, and made a few attempts at showing off his art, which were met with limited success. Shortly thereafter during the raids from New Haven Sabbat, Brian was attacked and sent into torpor. He woke up in early 2008 a changed being, and made his way back to the court, suffering a bad case of amnesia. Brian's works begin to earn him notoriety in the court, and his portraits of the Prince are highly praised. He develops a very close relationship with the princes of Hartford from this point on, and in November 2008, he is appointed the Keeper of Elysium by reigning Prince Stast. Brian takes to his duties with great fervor, creating new works of art, beefing up security at the major Elysia, developing media and bureaucratic contacts to cover up breaches of the masquerade, and studying intensely. He goes through the reign of Six more princes, always maintaining his position. In April 2011, Brian's behavior begins to change after an encounter with a being from another existence to which he lost his personal ghouls. His mind reshaped, he becomes less the happy housekeeper and more the merry malcontent. When the neocarthraganian threat struck the area, Brian was oddly silent, refusing to take a firm stand against the casino downtown, raising questions as to his loyalty. Further questions were raised when, in September 2011 he disobeyed orders from the prince and following the lead of a younger kindred who said she had been sent on a mission by Prince Anya to bring a message to the Whore of Babylon inside the casino, set about trying to gain entrance to the casino by distracting the guards, which lead to a firefight at the entrance gate. Sneaking past during the ensuing chaos, Brian was attempting to gain entry to the security shed to destroy the evidence when he was shot by a military assault team emerging from inside the casino. What he did not know at the time, was that this botched the entire operation which was being planned for that evening by the rest of the court to destroy the temple. When he returned to the court that evening, he took his punishment without protest, admitting to his extremely poor judgement, and lack of diligence in investigating the story of the neonate. He was stripped of his Diligent status for this scandal and for his disobedience. The neonate for her part, admitted to duping Brian, and proceeded to mouth off to the rest of the court, nearly getting herself killed. Brian spent the next month keeping to himself in his lab so he would not get in further trouble. In October, the assault on the temple occurred, and Brian, done up in clown makeup and carrying several balloons he claimed were filled with a paralytic gas joined the fray, helping to clear out mortal bystanders. The ritual was stopped, but the Whore got away. The next month was the yearly Northeast Event, which he had to not only keep an eye on the Camarillans and Anarchs, but also the Sabbat who showed up as well, as part of the truce. Brian found the affair rather boring, and kept leaving, missing the entire combat encounter which occurred inside the Elysium between the whore and the combined forces of the Camarilla, Anarchs and Sabbat, causing many breaches of the Elysium, none of which he could have seen. At the end of the gathering, he was asked to pass judgement on the evening's events, as far as the Elysium was concerned, and dredging up an old piece of lore about his position, made the hasty decision to say that &quot;during times of great danger to the domain and Elysium, the keeper can choose to temporarily suspend the Elysium to allow for a threat to be dealt with.&quot; This was unwise, and he should have taken time to think about his decision. This decision made many people angry, and weakened his reputation further. Deciding to run, he packed everything and left the city in a hurry, heading back up to Massachusetts. He was stopped near Worcester and forced to head back to Springfield, which he found practically deserted. He headed then to Westchester where he sought asylum from the Prince, which was denied, stating that they thought he should take some more time, calm down, and think about what he needed to do, instead of acting out of fear. He returned to Hartford the next month, and found that the Prince was missing, or away, and was asked to stay on as Keeper for the time being until he could talk with the prince. He was later approached by [[Tobias Ashford]] and asked to attend a meeting, where he was tasked with tracking down and destroying the being known as Stitches, along with a group of 5 Anarchs. Being the most familiar with the problem and the most charismatic of the group, he became the defacto leader. The Anarchs took him back to their base of operations where he was greeted with Hostility from some of their more aggressive members, but managed to avoid being mauled. He has reclaimed his havens, having not missed a month's rent, and is currently still operating in Hartford. He went back to Westchester this past week and thanked the Prince for his advice, letting him know he would no longer require asylum. While there, he was approached by members of the Mafia to perform a task for them involving property destruction. No story has been seen in any newspapers regarding an incident like this. Brian recently resigned the office of the Keeper of Elysium in Hartford.<br /> <br /> Five years Later<br /> <br /> Brian resurfaced from his lab in 2016, greatly enlightened. He was quickly made Primogen of Clan Malkavian in Hartford, a position for which there would soon be a need. A new Malkavian Prince emerged in nearby New Britain, and then everything went crazy.<br /> <br /> Nick Clemente<br /> <br /> In October 2016 a freshly made Malkavian Neonate came stumbling into Hartford, having learned about us on the internet. He was placed under Brian's accounting, and Brian did his best to teach the young Malkavian what he understood about the ins and outs of polite Kindred society. In some ways, he appears to have done exceedingly well, in others, terribly poorly. Nick burns bright and fast, gaining status outstripping his 'sire' within a year's time. Brian is very proud of him, he has said. Somehow, all the intrigues surrounding Biltmore and Quentin King seem to focus on Nick when they seek an outlet, and Brian tries to put the pieces of a larger picture together than even Nick's puzzle obsession may be capable of seeing.<br /> <br /> Giga Girl<br /> <br /> Brian recently recovered the BB Girl project, a sentient AI trapped in a robot shell he'd sold to a Toreador. He believes he must teach her the meaning of love. Some people told Brian that love is a warm gun. Others (women) tried to get through his (male) skull that that wasn't right at all. <br /> <br /> ==Coterie==<br /> Brian has managed to gain a degree of leadership over a pack of Anarchs. He was very close to The Prince and Seneschal, and other city officials, as well as friendly with the Nosferatu Prince of Westchester [[Edmond Dantes]]. This has all changed recently. Brian is now persona non-gratia among many of the city's officials since resigning his post and being publicly humiliated for his sins.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> <br /> Not sure who Brian could call an ally anymore, other than his surrogate childe Nick.<br /> <br /> ==Allies==<br /> Brian has some connections to the Hartford Arts Council, and maintains membership on their board. The director is a close friend and ally in Brian's struggle to bring Hartford the cultural clout it deserves. Brian's new connections with Comedy Central are proving very beneficial to the region, causing the creation of about 50 new jobs in entertainment in the area. These people love him, and owe their livelihood to him. He treats them with the respect and courtesy they deserve, and he does what he can to foster their dreams working in entertainment.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> The show has run it's course, but he's gotten some fame out of it. He's started branching into the financial and military sectors.<br /> <br /> ==Enemies==<br /> He's such a nice guy, and he really doesn't step on many toes, but He's begun to stumble in his sanity and his position as Keeper of the Elysium, with his spectacular failure at the Northeast Event, nullifying the Elysium temporarily under an arcane rule instead of stripping the prince and several other Camarillans of their standing in the sect, and losing face in front of the entire gathered crowd, Sabbat and Anarchs among them. He has a professional rivalry with Toreador Primogen James Norton, whom he has fallen out of favor with due to his recent inaction on the breaches of the Elysium that occured at the Northeast Event. Brian has since resigned his post as Keeper of Elysium.<br /> <br /> Brian made a lot of people angry by disobeying Prince Anya's edict not to go near the Whore's temple casino, resulting in months of planning, boons, favors and money to all go down the drain according to the Prince. He is in big trouble with the Prince and all of clan Assamite, as well as his own Primogen.<br /> <br /> Brian also dislikes the WWE, claiming it's not real entertainment, just mindless fans of violence, testosterone junkies, and poorly scripted matches that a child should be able to decipher. He uses every opportunity in his cartoons to lay the smackdown on World Wrestling Entertainment. There are rumors he helped fund Chris Murphy to defeat Linda McMahon in the recent election.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> <br /> No one remembers that stuff anymore. Funny how few people stick around any length of time. <br /> <br /> ==Sire==<br /> Stephanie Rider, an Anarch Malkavian from Springfield. Not Stephanie Ryder the Gangrel Porn Star. She is missing, but presumed still undead.<br /> <br /> ==Childer==<br /> Brian has no childer he knows of, and no current want for any more headaches. <br /> <br /> Two ghouls are enough trouble. - Note, His two original ghouls were killed under mysterious circumstances. He had been seen recently with the infamous womanizer &quot;Arturo 'Mr. Fandango' Calivari&quot;, but it appears that Brian has abandoned Arturo. He has been seen wandering around the tri state area with a new ghoul. There are rumors that the ghoul is a criminal who wronged Brian seriously in the past, and this is his punishment to the pitiful creature.<br /> <br /> Brian has begun to show off some of the larger robots he's built, with combat capabilities.<br /> <br /> Five Years Later<br /> <br /> Brian still hasn't sired, but he's had one successful surrogate under the accounting, and has a second one who is flighty. Additionally, his sentient Robot BB Girl has come home and is being reworked into a sort of... childe.<br /> <br /> ==Broodmates==<br /> Unknown.

The skin of his body is lightly scarred and pockmarked from decades of scratching, itching, and picking at the parasites he is sure writhe inside of him.

His father was an Air Force veteran, his mother a homemaker and amateur artist. He spent his childhood and adolescence in Braintree, before going off to college. In 1998, he moved to Springfield, MA where he participated in the local art scene. After a few failed shows, he finally got a good gig for his series &quot;Funny Faces&quot; in 2000, where he met his sire, and was promptly embraced by her that very night of the show's opening. After that he spent a few years in Springfield, til in 2006, he decided to move to the nearby Camarillan domain of Hartford, realizing that structure was what he was missing in his unlife among the chaos of the Anarch movement. He was acknowledged by Prince Chekov, and made a few attempts at showing off his art, which were met with limited success. Shortly thereafter during the raids from New Haven Sabbat, Brian was attacked and sent into torpor. He woke up in early 2008 a changed being, and made his way back to the court, suffering a bad case of amnesia. Brian's works begin to earn him notoriety in the court, and his portraits of the Prince are highly praised. He develops a very close relationship with the princes of Hartford from this point on, and in November 2008, he is appointed the Keeper of Elysium by reigning Prince Stast. Brian takes to his duties with great fervor, creating new works of art, beefing up security at the major Elysia, developing media and bureaucratic contacts to cover up breaches of the masquerade, and studying intensely. He goes through the reign of Six more princes, always maintaining his position. In April 2011, Brian's behavior begins to change after an encounter with a being from another existence to which he lost his personal ghouls. His mind reshaped, he becomes less the happy housekeeper and more the merry malcontent. When the neocarthraganian threat struck the area, Brian was oddly silent, refusing to take a firm stand against the casino downtown, raising questions as to his loyalty. Further questions were raised when, in September 2011 he disobeyed orders from the prince and following the lead of a younger kindred who said she had been sent on a mission by Prince Anya to bring a message to the Whore of Babylon inside the casino, set about trying to gain entrance to the casino by distracting the guards, which lead to a firefight at the entrance gate. Sneaking past during the ensuing chaos, Brian was attempting to gain entry to the security shed to destroy the evidence when he was shot by a military assault team emerging from inside the casino. What he did not know at the time, was that this botched the entire operation which was being planned for that evening by the rest of the court to destroy the temple. When he returned to the court that evening, he took his punishment without protest, admitting to his extremely poor judgement, and lack of diligence in investigating the story of the neonate. He was stripped of his Diligent status for this scandal and for his disobedience. The neonate for her part, admitted to duping Brian, and proceeded to mouth off to the rest of the court, nearly getting herself killed. Brian spent the next month keeping to himself in his lab so he would not get in further trouble. In October, the assault on the temple occurred, and Brian, done up in clown makeup and carrying several balloons he claimed were filled with a paralytic gas joined the fray, helping to clear out mortal bystanders. The ritual was stopped, but the Whore got away. The next month was the yearly Northeast Event, which he had to not only keep an eye on the Camarillans and Anarchs, but also the Sabbat who showed up as well, as part of the truce. Brian found the affair rather boring, and kept leaving, missing the entire combat encounter which occurred inside the Elysium between the whore and the combined forces of the Camarilla, Anarchs and Sabbat, causing many breaches of the Elysium, none of which he could have seen. At the end of the gathering, he was asked to pass judgement on the evening's events, as far as the Elysium was concerned, and dredging up an old piece of lore about his position, made the hasty decision to say that &quot;during times of great danger to the domain and Elysium, the keeper can choose to temporarily suspend the Elysium to allow for a threat to be dealt with.&quot; This was unwise, and he should have taken time to think about his decision. This decision made many people angry, and weakened his reputation further. Deciding to run, he packed everything and left the city in a hurry, heading back up to Massachusetts. He was stopped near Worcester and forced to head back to Springfield, which he found practically deserted. He headed then to Westchester where he sought asylum from the Prince, which was denied, stating that they thought he should take some more time, calm down, and think about what he needed to do, instead of acting out of fear. He returned to Hartford the next month, and found that the Prince was missing, or away, and was asked to stay on as Keeper for the time being until he could talk with the prince. He was later approached by [[Tobias Ashford]] and asked to attend a meeting, where he was tasked with tracking down and destroying the being known as Stitches, along with a group of 5 Anarchs. Being the most familiar with the problem and the most charismatic of the group, he became the defacto leader. The Anarchs took him back to their base of operations where he was greeted with Hostility from some of their more aggressive members, but managed to avoid being mauled. He has reclaimed his havens, having not missed a month's rent, and is currently still operating in Hartford. He went back to Westchester this past week and thanked the Prince for his advice, letting him know he would no longer require asylum. While there, he was approached by members of the Mafia to perform a task for them involving property destruction. No story has been seen in any newspapers regarding an incident like this. Brian recently resigned the office of the Keeper of Elysium in Hartford.<br /> <br /> ==Coterie==<br /> Brian has managed to gain a degree of leadership over a pack of Anarchs. He was very close to The Prince and Seneschal, and other city officials, as well as friendly with the Nosferatu Prince of Westchester [[Edmond Dantes]]. This has all changed recently. Brian is now persona non-gratia among many of the city's officials since resigning his post and being publicly humiliated for his sins.<br /> <br /> ==Allies==<br /> Brian has some connections to the Hartford Arts Council, and maintains membership on their board. The director is a close friend and ally in Brian's struggle to bring Hartford the cultural clout it deserves. Brian's new connections with Comedy Central are proving very beneficial to the region, causing the creation of about 50 new jobs in entertainment in the area. These people love him, and owe their livelihood to him. He treats them with the respect and courtesy they deserve, and he does what he can to foster their dreams working in entertainment.<br /> <br /> ==Enemies==<br /> He's such a nice guy, and he really doesn't step on many toes, but He's begun to stumble in his sanity and his position as Keeper of the Elysium, with his spectacular failure at the Northeast Event, nullifying the Elysium temporarily under an arcane rule instead of stripping the prince and several other Camarillans of their standing in the sect, and losing face in front of the entire gathered crowd, Sabbat and Anarchs among them. He has a professional rivalry with Toreador Primogen James Norton, whom he has fallen out of favor with due to his recent inaction on the breaches of the Elysium that occured at the Northeast Event. Brian has since resigned his post as Keeper of Elysium.<br /> <br /> Brian made a lot of people angry by disobeying Prince Anya's edict not to go near the Whore's temple casino, resulting in months of planning, boons, favors and money to all go down the drain according to the Prince. He is in big trouble with the Prince and all of clan Assamite, as well as his own Primogen.<br /> <br /> Brian also dislikes the WWE, claiming it's not real entertainment, just mindless fans of violence, testosterone junkies, and poorly scripted matches that a child should be able to decipher. He uses every opportunity in his cartoons to lay the smackdown on World Wrestling Entertainment. There are rumors he helped fund Chris Murphy to defeat Linda McMahon in the recent election.<br /> <br /> ==Sire==<br /> Stephanie Rider, an Anarch Malkavian from Springfield. Not Stephanie Ryder the Gangrel Porn Star. She is missing, but presumed still undead.<br /> <br /> ==Childer==<br /> Brian has no childer he knows of, and no current want for any more headaches. <br /> <br /> Two ghouls are enough trouble. - Note, His two original ghouls were killed under mysterious circumstances. He had been seen recently with the infamous womanizer &quot;Arturo 'Mr. Fandango' Calivari&quot;, but it appears that Brian has abandoned Arturo. He has been seen wandering around the tri state area with a new ghoul. There are rumors that the ghoul is a criminal who wronged Brian seriously in the past, and this is his punishment to the pitiful creature.<br /> <br /> Brian has begun to show off some of the larger robots he's built, with combat capabilities.<br /> <br /> ==Broodmates==<br /> Unknown. He lost touch with his sire, and never got to know if he has any other vampiric siblings.<br /> <br /> ==Character Inspirations==<br /> *Salvador Dali<br /> *Dr. Steel<br /> *Nikola Tesla<br /> *Vincent Van Gogh<br /> *Renee Magritte<br /> *The Joker<br /> *Arthur Dent<br /> *John Malkovitch<br /> *David Bowie<br /> *Dom Deluise<br /> *George Carlins<br /> *Penn Jillette<br /> *Hunter S Thompson<br /> *Terry Gilliam<br /> *Trey Parker<br /> *Matt Stone<br /> <br /> ==Soundtrack==<br /> *&quot;I'm Going Slightly Mad.&quot;<br /> *&quot;I am the Walrus&quot;<br /> *&quot;The Man Who Sold The World&quot;<br /> *&quot;Lament for a Toy Factory&quot;<br /> *&quot;Build the Robots&quot;<br /> <br /> ==Quotes==<br /> *&quot;If you're good at something, never do it for free.&quot;<br /> *&quot;How many cups of darkness have I drunk?

Sneaking past during the ensuing chaos, Brian was attempting to gain entry to the security shed to destroy the evidence when he was shot by a military assault team emerging from inside the casino. What he did not know at the time, was that this botched the entire operation which was being planned for that evening by the rest of the court to destroy the temple. When he returned to the court that evening, he took his punishment without protest, admitting to his extremely poor judgement, and lack of diligence in investigating the story of the neonate. He was stripped of his Diligent status for this scandal and for his disobedience. The neonate for her part, admitted to duping Brian, and proceeded to mouth off to the rest of the court, nearly getting herself killed. Brian spent the next month keeping to himself in his lab so he would not get in further trouble. In October, the assault on the temple occurred, and Brian, done up in clown makeup and carrying several balloons he claimed were filled with a paralytic gas joined the fray, helping to clear out mortal bystanders. The ritual was stopped, but the Whore got away. The next month was the yearly Northeast Event, which he had to not only keep an eye on the Camarillans and Anarchs, but also the Sabbat who showed up as well, as part of the truce. Brian found the affair rather boring, and kept leaving, missing the entire combat encounter which occurred inside the Elysium between the whore and the combined forces of the Camarilla, Anarchs and Sabbat, causing many breaches of the Elysium, none of which he could have seen. At the end of the gathering, he was asked to pass judgement on the evening's events, as far as the Elysium was concerned, and dredging up an old piece of lore about his position, made the hasty decision to say that &quot;during times of great danger to the domain and Elysium, the keeper can choose to temporarily suspend the Elysium to allow for a threat to be dealt with.&quot; This was unwise, and he should have taken time to think about his decision. This decision made many people angry, and weakened his reputation further. Deciding to run, he packed everything and left the city in a hurry, heading back up to Massachusetts. He was stopped near Worcester and forced to head back to Springfield, which he found practically deserted. He headed then to Westchester where he sought asylum from the Prince, which was denied, stating that they thought he should take some more time, calm down, and think about what he needed to do, instead of acting out of fear. He returned to Hartford the next month, and found that the Prince was missing, or away, and was asked to stay on as Keeper for the time being until he could talk with the prince. He was later approached by [[Tobias Ashford]] and asked to attend a meeting, where he was tasked with tracking down and destroying the being known as Stitches, along with a group of 5 Anarchs. Being the most familiar with the problem and the most charismatic of the group, he became the defacto leader. The Anarchs took him back to their base of operations where he was greeted with Hostility from some of their more aggressive members, but managed to avoid being mauled. He has reclaimed his havens, having not missed a month's rent, and is currently still operating in Hartford. He went back to Westchester this past week and thanked the Prince for his advice, letting him know he would no longer require asylum. While there, he was approached by members of the Mafia to perform a task for them involving property destruction. No story has been seen in any newspapers regarding an incident like this. Brian recently resigned the office of the Keeper of Elysium in Hartford.<br /> <br /> ==Coterie==<br /> Brian has managed to gain a degree of leadership over a pack of Anarchs. He was very close to The Prince and Seneschal, and other city officials, as well as friendly with the Nosferatu Prince of Westchester [[Edmond Dantes]]. This has all changed recently.

His father was an Air Force veteran, his mother a homemaker and amateur artist. He spent his childhood and adolescence in Braintree, before going off to college. In 1998, he moved to Springfield, MA where he participated in the local art scene. After a few failed shows, he finally got a good gig for his series &quot;Funny Faces&quot; in 2000, where he met his sire, and was promptly embraced by her that very night of the show's opening. After that he spent a few years in Springfield, til in 2006, he decided to move to the nearby Camarillan domain of Hartford, realizing that structure was what he was missing in his unlife among the chaos of the Anarch movement. He was acknowledged by Prince Chekov, and made a few attempts at showing off his art, which were met with limited success. Shortly thereafter during the raids from New Haven Sabbat, Brian was attacked and sent into torpor. He woke up in early 2008 a changed being, and made his way back to the court, suffering a bad case of amnesia. Brian's works begin to earn him notoriety in the court, and his portraits of the Prince are highly praised. He develops a very close relationship with the princes of Hartford from this point on, and in November 2008, he is appointed the Keeper of Elysium by reigning Prince Stast. Brian takes to his duties with great fervor, creating new works of art, beefing up security at the major Elysia, developing media and bureaucratic contacts to cover up breaches of the masquerade, and studying intensely. He goes through the reign of Six more princes, always maintaining his position. In April 2011, Brian's behavior begins to change after an encounter with a being from another existence to which he lost his personal ghouls. His mind reshaped, he becomes less the happy housekeeper and more the merry malcontent. When the neocarthraganian threat struck the area, Brian was oddly silent, refusing to take a firm stand against the casino downtown, raising questions as to his loyalty. Further questions were raised when, in September 2011 he disobeyed orders from the prince and following the lead of a younger kindred who said she had been sent on a mission by Prince Anya to bring a message to the Whore of Babylon inside the casino, set about trying to gain entrance to the casino by distracting the guards, which lead to a firefight at the entrance gate.

His father was an Air Force veteran, his mother a homemaker and amateur artist. He spent his childhood and adolescence in Braintree, before going off to college. In 1998, he moved to Springfield, MA where he participated in the local art scene. After a few failed shows, he finally got a good gig for his series &quot;Funny Faces&quot; in 2000, where he met his sire, and was promptly embraced by her that very night of the show's opening. After that he spent a few years in Springfield, til in 2006, he decided to move to the nearby Camarillan domain of Hartford, realizing that structure was what he was missing in his unlife among the chaos of the Anarch movement. He was acknowledged by Prince Chekov, and made a few attempts at showing off his art, which were met with limited success. Shortly thereafter during the raids from New Haven Sabbat, Brian was attacked and sent into torpor. He woke up in early 2008 a changed being, and made his way back to the court, suffering a bad case of amnesia. Brian's works begin to earn him notoriety in the court, and his portraits of the Prince are highly praised. He develops a very close relationship with the princes of Hartford from this point on, and in November 2008, he is appointed the Keeper of Elysium by reigning Prince Stast. Brian takes to his duties with great fervor, creating new works of art, beefing up security at the major Elysia, developing media and bureaucratic contacts to cover up breaches of the masquerade, and studying intensely. He goes through the reign of Six more princes, always maintaining his position. In April 2011, Brian's behavior begins to change after an encounter with a being from another existence to which he lost his personal ghouls. His mind reshaped, he becomes less the happy housekeeper and more the merry malcontent. When the neocarthraganian threat struck the area, Brian was oddly silent, refusing to take a firm stand against the casino downtown, raising questions as to his loyalty. Further questions were raised when, in September 2011 he disobeyed orders from the prince and following the lead of a younger kindred who said she had been sent on a mission by Prince Anya to bring a message to the Whore of Babylon inside the casino, set about trying to gain entrance to the casino by distracting the guards, which lead to a firefight at the entrance gate. Sneaking past during the ensuing chaos, Brian was attempting to gain entry to the security shed to destroy the evidence when he was shot by a military assault team emerging from inside the casino. What he did not know at the time, was that this botched the entire operation which was being planned for that evening by the rest of the court to destroy the temple. When he returned to the court that evening, he took his punishment without protest, admitting to his extremely poor judgement, and lack of diligence in investigating the story of the neonate. He was stripped of his Diligent status for this scandal and for his disobedience. The neonate for her part, admitted to duping Brian, and proceeded to mouth off to the rest of the court, nearly getting herself killed. Brian spent the next month keeping to himself in his lab so he would not get in further trouble. In October, the assault on the temple occurred, and Brian, done up in clown makeup and carrying several balloons he claimed were filled with a paralytic gas joined the fray, helping to clear out mortal bystanders. The ritual was stopped, but the Whore got away. The next month was the yearly Northeast Event, which he had to not only keep an eye on the Camarillans and Anarchs, but also the Sabbat who showed up as well, as part of the truce. Brian found the affair rather boring, and kept leaving, missing the entire combat encounter which occurred inside the Elysium between the whore and the combined forces of the Camarilla, Anarchs and Sabbat, causing many breaches of the Elysium, none of which he could have seen. At the end of the gathering, he was asked to pass judgement on the evening's events, as far as the Elysium was concerned, and dredging up an old piece of lore about his position, made the hasty decision to say that &quot;during times of great danger to the domain and Elysium, the keeper can choose to temporarily suspend the Elysium to allow for a threat to be dealt with.&quot; This was unwise, and he should have taken time to think about his decision. This decision made many people angry, and weakened his reputation further. Deciding to run, he packed everything and left the city in a hurry, heading back up to Massachusetts. He was stopped near Worcester and forced to head back to Springfield, which he found practically deserted. He headed then to Westchester where he sought asylum from the Prince, which was denied, stating that they thought he should take some more time, calm down, and think about what he needed to do, instead of acting out of fear. He returned to Hartford the next month, and found that the Prince was missing, or away, and was asked to stay on as Keeper for the time being until he could talk with the prince. He was later approached by [[Tobias Ashford]] and asked to attend a meeting, where he was tasked with tracking down and destroying the being known as Stitches, along with a group of 5 Anarchs. Being the most familiar with the problem and the most charismatic of the group, he became the defacto leader. The Anarchs took him back to their base of operations where he was greeted with Hostility from some of their more aggressive members, but managed to avoid being mauled. He has reclaimed his havens, having not missed a month's rent, and is currently still operating in Hartford. He went back to Westchester this past week and thanked the Prince for his advice, letting him know he would no longer require asylum. While there, he was approached by members of the Mafia to perform a task for them involving property destruction. No story has been seen in any newspapers regarding an incident like this. Brian recently resigned the office of the Keeper of Elysium in Hartford.<br /> <br /> ==Coterie==<br /> Brian has managed to gain a degree of leadership over a pack of Anarchs. He was very close to The Prince and Seneschal, and other city officials, as well as friendly with the Nosferatu Prince of Westchester [[Edmond Dantes]]. This has all changed recently. Brian is now persona non-gratia among many of the city's officials since resigning his post and being publicly humiliated for his sins.<br /> <br /> ==Allies==<br /> Brian has some connections to the Hartford Arts Council, and maintains membership on their board.

His father was an Air Force veteran, his mother a homemaker and amateur artist. He spent his childhood and adolescence in Braintree, before going off to college. In 1998, he moved to Springfield, MA where he participated in the local art scene. After a few failed shows, he finally got a good gig for his series &quot;Funny Faces&quot; in 2000, where he met his sire, and was promptly embraced by her that very night of the show's opening. After that he spent a few years in Springfield, til in 2006, he decided to move to the nearby Camarillan domain of Hartford, realizing that structure was what he was missing in his unlife among the chaos of the Anarch movement. He was acknowledged by Prince Chekov, and made a few attempts at showing off his art, which were met with limited success. Shortly thereafter during the raids from New Haven Sabbat, Brian was attacked and sent into torpor. He woke up in early 2008 a changed being, and made his way back to the court, suffering a bad case of amnesia. Brian's works begin to earn him notoriety in the court, and his portraits of the Prince are highly praised. He develops a very close relationship with the princes of Hartford from this point on, and in November 2008, he is appointed the Keeper of Elysium by reigning Prince Stast. Brian takes to his duties with great fervor, creating new works of art, beefing up security at the major Elysia, developing media and bureaucratic contacts to cover up breaches of the masquerade, and studying intensely. He goes through the reign of Six more princes, always maintaining his position. In April 2011, Brian's behavior begins to change after an encounter with a being from another existence to which he lost his personal ghouls. His mind reshaped, he becomes less the happy housekeeper and more the merry malcontent. When the neocarthraganian threat struck the area, Brian was oddly silent, refusing to take a firm stand against the casino downtown, raising questions as to his loyalty. Further questions were raised when, in September 2011 he disobeyed orders from the prince and following the lead of a younger kindred who said she had been sent on a mission by Prince Anya to bring a message to the Whore of Babylon inside the casino, set about trying to gain entrance to the casino by distracting the guards, which lead to a firefight at the entrance gate. Sneaking past during the ensuing chaos, Brian was attempting to gain entry to the security shed to destroy the evidence when he was shot by a military assault team emerging from inside the casino. What he did not know at the time, was that this botched the entire operation which was being planned for that evening by the rest of the court to destroy the temple. When he returned to the court that evening, he took his punishment without protest, admitting to his extremely poor judgement, and lack of diligence in investigating the story of the neonate. He was stripped of his Diligent status for this scandal and for his disobedience. The neonate for her part, admitted to duping Brian, and proceeded to mouth off to the rest of the court, nearly getting herself killed. Brian spent the next month keeping to himself in his lab so he would not get in further trouble. In October, the assault on the temple occurred, and Brian, done up in clown makeup and carrying several balloons he claimed were filled with a paralytic gas joined the fray, helping to clear out mortal bystanders. The ritual was stopped, but the Whore got away. The next month was the yearly Northeast Event, which he had to not only keep an eye on the Camarillans and Anarchs, but also the Sabbat who showed up as well, as part of the truce. Brian found the affair rather boring, and kept leaving, missing the entire combat encounter which occurred inside the Elysium between the whore and the combined forces of the Camarilla, Anarchs and Sabbat, causing many breaches of the Elysium, none of which he could have seen. At the end of the gathering, he was asked to pass judgement on the evening's events, as far as the Elysium was concerned, and dredging up an old piece of lore about his position, made the hasty decision to say that &quot;during times of great danger to the domain and Elysium, the keeper can choose to temporarily suspend the Elysium to allow for a threat to be dealt with.&quot; This was unwise, and he should have taken time to think about his decision. This decision made many people angry, and weakened his reputation further. Deciding to run, he packed everything and left the city in a hurry, heading back up to Massachusetts. He was stopped near Worcester and forced to head back to Springfield, which he found practically deserted. He headed then to Westchester where he sought asylum from the Prince, which was denied, stating that they thought he should take some more time, calm down, and think about what he needed to do, instead of acting out of fear. He returned to Hartford the next month, and found that the Prince was missing, or away, and was asked to stay on as Keeper for the time being until he could talk with the prince. He was later approached by [[Tobias Ashford]] and asked to attend a meeting, where he was tasked with tracking down and destroying the being known as Stitches, along with a group of 5 Anarchs. Being the most familiar with the problem and the most charismatic of the group, he became the defacto leader. The Anarchs took him back to their base of operations where he was greeted with Hostility from some of their more aggressive members, but managed to avoid being mauled. He has reclaimed his havens, having not missed a month's rent, and is currently still operating in Hartford. He went back to Westchester this past week and thanked the Prince for his advice, letting him know he would no longer require asylum. While there, he was approached by members of the Mafia to perform a task for them involving property destruction. No story has been seen in any newspapers regarding an incident like this. Brian recently resigned the office of the Keeper of Elysium in Hartford.<br /> <br /> ==Coterie==<br /> Brian has managed to gain a degree of leadership over a pack of Anarchs. He was very close to The Prince and Seneschal, and other city officials, as well as friendly with the Nosferatu Prince of Westchester [[Edmond Dantes]]. This has all changed recently. Brian is now persona non-gratia among many of the city's officials since resigning his post and being publicly humiliated for his sins.<br /> <br /> ==Allies==<br /> Brian has some connections to the Hartford Arts Council, and maintains membership on their board. The director is a close friend and ally in Brian's struggle to bring Hartford the cultural clout it deserves. Brian's new connections with Comedy Central are proving very beneficial to the region, causing the creation of about 50 new jobs in entertainment in the area. These people love him, and owe their livelihood to him. He treats them with the respect and courtesy they deserve, and he does what he can to foster their dreams working in entertainment.<br /> <br /> ==Enemies==<br /> He's such a nice guy, and he really doesn't step on many toes, but He's begun to stumble in his sanity and his position as Keeper of the Elysium, with his spectacular failure at the Northeast Event, nullifying the Elysium temporarily under an arcane rule instead of stripping the prince and several other Camarillans of their standing in the sect, and losing face in front of the entire gathered crowd, Sabbat and Anarchs among them. He has a professional rivalry with Toreador Primogen James Norton, whom he has fallen out of favor with due to his recent inaction on the breaches of the Elysium that occured at the Northeast Event. Brian has since resigned his post as Keeper of Elysium.<br /> <br /> Brian made a lot of people angry by disobeying Prince Anya's edict not to go near the Whore's temple casino, resulting in months of planning, boons, favors and money to all go down the drain according to the Prince. He is in big trouble with the Prince and all of clan Assamite, as well as his own Primogen.<br /> <br /> Brian also dislikes the WWE, claiming it's not real entertainment, just mindless fans of violence, testosterone junkies, and poorly scripted matches that a child should be able to decipher. He uses every opportunity in his act and show to lay the smackdown on World Wrestling Entertainment. There are rumors they are trying to muscle their way onto his TV show to upstage him.<br /> <br /> ==Sire==<br /> Stephanie Rider, an Anarch Malkavian from Springfield. Not Stephanie Ryder the Gangrel Porn Star. She is missing, but presumed still undead.<br /> <br /> ==Childer==<br /> Brian has no childer he knows of, and no current want for any more headaches. Two ghouls are enough trouble. - Note, His two original ghouls were killed under mysterious circumstances. He had been seen recently with the infamous womanizer &quot;Arturo 'Mr. Fandango' Calivari&quot;, but it appears that Brian has abandoned Arturo. He has been seen wandering around the tri state area with a new ghoul. There are rumors that the ghoul is a criminal who wronged Brian seriously in the past, and this is his punishment to the pitiful creature.<br /> Brian has begun to show off some of his small rat-bots he's been creating in his workshop.<br /> <br /> ==Broodmates==<br /> Unknown. He lost touch with his sire, and never got to know if he has any other vampiric siblings.<br /> <br /> ==Character Inspirations==<br /> *Salvador Dali<br /> *Dr. Steel<br /> *Nikola Tesla<br /> *Vincent Van Gogh<br /> *Renee Magritte<br /> *The Joker<br /> *Arthur Dent<br /> *John Malkovitch<br /> *David Bowie<br /> *Dom Deluise<br /> *George Carlins<br /> *Penn Jillette<br /> *Hunter S Thompson<br /> <br /> ==Soundtrack==<br /> *&quot;I'm Going Slightly Mad.&quot;<br /> *&quot;I am the Walrus&quot;<br /> *&quot;The Man Who Sold The World&quot;<br /> *&quot;Lament for a Toy Factory&quot;<br /> *&quot;Build the Robots&quot;<br /> <br /> ==Quotes==<br /> *&quot;If you're good at something, never do it for free.&quot;<br /> *&quot;How many cups of darkness have I drunk?

Brian takes to his duties with great fervor, creating new works of art, beefing up security at the major Elysia, developing media and bureaucratic contacts to cover up breaches of the masquerade, and studying intensely. He goes through the reign of Six more princes, always maintaining his position. In April 2011, Brian's behavior begins to change after an encounter with a being from another existence to which he lost his personal ghouls. His mind reshaped, he becomes less the happy housekeeper and more the merry malcontent. When the neocarthraganian threat struck the area, Brian was oddly silent, refusing to take a firm stand against the casino downtown, raising questions as to his loyalty. Further questions were raised when, in September 2011 he disobeyed orders from the prince and following the lead of a younger kindred who said she had been sent on a mission by Prince Anya to bring a message to the Whore of Babylon inside the casino, set about trying to gain entrance to the casino by distracting the guards, which lead to a firefight at the entrance gate. Sneaking past during the ensuing chaos, Brian was attempting to gain entry to the security shed to destroy the evidence when he was shot by a military assault team emerging from inside the casino. What he did not know at the time, was that this botched the entire operation which was being planned for that evening by the rest of the court to destroy the temple. When he returned to the court that evening, he took his punishment without protest, admitting to his extremely poor judgement, and lack of diligence in investigating the story of the neonate. He was stripped of his Diligent status for this scandal and for his disobedience. The neonate for her part, admitted to duping Brian, and proceeded to mouth off to the rest of the court, nearly getting herself killed. Brian spent the next month keeping to himself in his lab so he would not get in further trouble. In October, the assault on the temple occurred, and Brian, done up in clown makeup and carrying several balloons he claimed were filled with a paralytic gas joined the fray, helping to clear out mortal bystanders. The ritual was stopped, but the Whore got away. The next month was the yearly Northeast Event, which he had to not only keep an eye on the Camarillans and Anarchs, but also the Sabbat who showed up as well, as part of the truce. Brian found the affair rather boring, and kept leaving, missing the entire combat encounter which occurred inside the Elysium between the whore and the combined forces of the Camarilla, Anarchs and Sabbat, causing many breaches of the Elysium, none of which he could have seen. At the end of the gathering, he was asked to pass judgement on the evening's events, as far as the Elysium was concerned, and dredging up an old piece of lore about his position, made the hasty decision to say that &quot;during times of great danger to the domain and Elysium, the keeper can choose to temporarily suspend the Elysium to allow for a threat to be dealt with.&quot; This was unwise, and he should have taken time to think about his decision. This decision made many people angry, and weakened his reputation further. Deciding to run, he packed everything and left the city in a hurry, heading back up to Massachusetts. He was stopped near Worcester and forced to head back to Springfield, which he found practically deserted. He headed then to Westchester where he sought asylum from the Prince, which was denied, stating that they thought he should take some more time, calm down, and think about what he needed to do, instead of acting out of fear. He returned to Hartford the next month, and found that the Prince was missing, or away, and was asked to stay on as Keeper for the time being until he could talk with the prince. He was later approached by [[Tobias Ashford]] and asked to attend a meeting, where he was tasked with tracking down and destroying the being known as Stitches, along with a group of 5 Anarchs. Being the most familiar with the problem and the most charismatic of the group, he became the defacto leader. The Anarchs took him back to their base of operations where he was greeted with Hostility from some of their more aggressive members, but managed to avoid being mauled. He has reclaimed his havens, having not missed a month's rent, and is currently still operating in Hartford. He went back to Westchester this past week and thanked the Prince for his advice, letting him know he would no longer require asylum. While there, he was approached by members of the Mafia to perform a task for them involving property destruction. No story has been seen in any newspapers regarding an incident like this. Brian recently resigned the office of the Keeper of Elysium in Hartford.<br /> <br /> ==Coterie==<br /> Brian has managed to gain a degree of leadership over a pack of Anarchs. He was very close to The Prince and Seneschal, and other city officials, as well as friendly with the Nosferatu Prince of Westchester [[Edmond Dantes]]. This has all changed recently. Brian is now persona non-gratia among many of the city's officials since resigning his post and being publicly humiliated for his sins.<br /> <br /> ==Allies==<br /> Brian has some connections to the Hartford Arts Council, and maintains membership on their board. The director is a close friend and ally in Brian's struggle to bring Hartford the cultural clout it deserves. Brian's new connections with Comedy Central are proving very beneficial to the region, causing the creation of about 50 new jobs in entertainment in the area. These people love him, and owe their livelihood to him. He treats them with the respect and courtesy they deserve, and he does what he can to foster their dreams working in entertainment.<br /> <br /> ==Enemies==<br /> He's such a nice guy, and he really doesn't step on many toes, but He's begun to stumble in his sanity and his position as Keeper of the Elysium, with his spectacular failure at the Northeast Event, nullifying the Elysium temporarily under an arcane rule instead of stripping the prince and several other Camarillans of their standing in the sect, and losing face in front of the entire gathered crowd, Sabbat and Anarchs among them. He has a professional rivalry with Toreador Primogen James Norton, whom he has fallen out of favor with due to his recent inaction on the breaches of the Elysium that occured at the Northeast Event. Brian has since resigned his post as Keeper of Elysium.<br /> <br /> Brian made a lot of people angry by disobeying Prince Anya's edict not to go near the Whore's temple casino, resulting in months of planning, boons, favors and money to all go down the drain according to the Prince. He is in big trouble with the Prince and all of clan Assamite, as well as his own Primogen.<br /> <br /> Brian also dislikes the WWE, claiming it's not real entertainment, just mindless fans of violence, testosterone junkies, and poorly scripted matches that a child should be able to decipher. He uses every opportunity in his act and show to lay the smackdown on World Wrestling Entertainment. There are rumors they are trying to muscle their way onto his TV show to upstage him.<br /> <br /> ==Sire==<br /> Stephanie Rider, an Anarch Malkavian from Springfield.

His father was an Air Force veteran, his mother a homemaker and amateur artist. He spent his childhood and adolescence in Braintree, before going off to college. In 1998, he moved to Springfield, MA where he participated in the local art scene. After a few failed shows, he finally got a good gig for his series &quot;Funny Faces&quot; in 2000, where he met his sire, and was promptly embraced by her that very night of the show's opening. After that he spent a few years in Springfield, til in 2006, he decided to move to the nearby Camarillan domain of Hartford, realizing that structure was what he was missing in his unlife among the chaos of the Anarch movement. He was acknowledged by Prince Chekov, and made a few attempts at showing off his art, which were met with limited success. Shortly thereafter during the raids from New Haven Sabbat, Brian was attacked and sent into torpor.

He returned to Hartford the next month, and found that the Prince was missing, or away, and was asked to stay on as Keeper for the time being until he could talk with the prince. He was later approached by [[Tobias Ashford]] and asked to attend a meeting, where he was tasked with tracking down and destroying the being known as Stitches, along with a group of 5 Anarchs. Being the most familiar with the problem and the most charismatic of the group, he became the defacto leader. The Anarchs took him back to their base of operations where he was greeted with Hostility from some of their more aggressive members, but managed to avoid being mauled. He has reclaimed his havens, having not missed a month's rent, and is currently still operating in Hartford. He went back to Westchester this past week and thanked the Prince for his advice, letting him know he would no longer require asylum. While there, he was approached by members of the Mafia to perform a task for them involving property destruction. No story has been seen in any newspapers regarding an incident like this. Brian recently resigned the office of the Keeper of Elysium in Hartford.<br /> <br /> ==Coterie==<br /> Brian has managed to gain a degree of leadership over a pack of Anarchs. He was very close to The Prince and Seneschal, and other city officials, as well as friendly with the Nosferatu Prince of Westchester [[Edmond Dantes]]. This has all changed recently. Brian is now persona non-gratia among many of the city's officials since resigning his post and being publicly humiliated for his sins.<br /> <br /> ==Allies==<br /> Brian has some connections to the Hartford Arts Council, and maintains membership on their board. The director is a close friend and ally in Brian's struggle to bring Hartford the cultural clout it deserves. Brian's new connections with Comedy Central are proving very beneficial to the region, causing the creation of about 50 new jobs in entertainment in the area. These people love him, and owe their livelihood to him. He treats them with the respect and courtesy they deserve, and he does what he can to foster their dreams working in entertainment.<br /> <br /> ==Enemies==<br /> He's such a nice guy, and he really doesn't step on many toes, but He's begun to stumble in his sanity and his position as Keeper of the Elysium, with his spectacular failure at the Northeast Event, nullifying the Elysium temporarily under an arcane rule instead of stripping the prince and several other Camarillans of their standing in the sect, and losing face in front of the entire gathered crowd, Sabbat and Anarchs among them. He has a professional rivalry with Toreador Primogen James Norton, whom he has fallen out of favor with due to his recent inaction on the breaches of the Elysium that occured at the Northeast Event. Brian has since resigned his post as Keeper of Elysium.<br /> <br /> Brian made a lot of people angry by disobeying Prince Anya's edict not to go near the Whore's temple casino, resulting in months of planning, boons, favors and money to all go down the drain according to the Prince. He is in big trouble with the Prince and all of clan Assamite, as well as his own Primogen.<br /> <br /> Brian also dislikes the WWE, claiming it's not real entertainment, just mindless fans of violence, testosterone junkies, and poorly scripted matches that a child should be able to decipher. He uses every opportunity in his act and show to lay the smackdown on World Wrestling Entertainment. There are rumors they are trying to muscle their way onto his TV show to upstage him.<br /> <br /> ==Sire==<br /> Stephanie Rider, an Anarch Malkavian from Springfield. Not Stephanie Ryder the Gangrel Porn Star. She is missing, but presumed still undead.<br /> <br /> ==Childer==<br /> Brian has no childer he knows of, and no current want for any more headaches. Two ghouls are enough trouble. - Note, His two original ghouls were killed under mysterious circumstances. He had been seen recently with the infamous womanizer &quot;Arturo 'Mr. Fandango' Calivari&quot;, but it appears that Brian has abandoned Arturo.
